Crews were working to restore power to thousands of Hawaii residents Tuesday after the outer bands of Lala battered the archipelago over the weekend, causing destructive flooding and killing one person, before weakening from a hurricane to a tropical storm.<\/p>\n

Crews on the Big Island were working to clear and restore roads. Most public schools across Hawaii reopened but Hawaii County\u2019s non-emergency operations were still suspended, officials said.<\/p>\n

Tourists were among those impacted by power outages. Sydney Ambrose, a California resident who was visiting Maui with her son and mother, said that they had just sat down to order at a restaurant in Kaanapali on the island\u2019s west side when the power went out. Their hotel also lost power, forcing them to try to sleep without air conditioning in a hot room. Hotel guests gathered on the ground floor to use the few working power outlets to charge their phones and other devices, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were pretty anxious,\u201d Ambrose said. \u201cMy mom was a little bit freaked out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The storm has since moved west, according to the National Weather Service. It is expected to eventually turn north toward the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, a massive and remote federally protected area of the Pacific with islands, atolls, sea mounts, shoals and coral reefs.<\/p>\n

Hawaiian Electric said inspections are showing significant damage, especially in remote areas, and crews were working overnight to restore power to thousands across the Big Island, Maui, and Oahu. Many large trees in Maui\u2019s upcountry region fell and toppled power lines and damaged infrastructure, according to Maui County officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cRoads are getting cleared, debris is getting cleaned up, and the people, while hurting, remain strong,\u201d Hawaii County Mayor Kimo Alameda said Monday.<\/p>\n

Officials said the storm caused one death \u2014 a 90-year-old woman who had been reported missing in Naalehu and then found dead on Monday.<\/p>\n

In the hard-hit southern end of the Big Island, communities were isolated as they were cut off from communication. Floodwaters disturbed some grave sites. While water service was restored to customers in P\u0101hala, a boil water notice was issued out of an abundance of caution.<\/p>\n

Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said Monday that the damage was not as catastrophic as feared and that recovery will be \u201csomewhat brisk.\u201d<\/p>\n
