A tropical storm in the Pacific Ocean will carry extra flooding and gusty winds to Hawaii as the state recovers from injury from last week’s Hurricane Lala, according to forecasters.

Tropical Storm Moke is impacting the Big Island of Hawaii and will carry rain to other islands through Monday, according to an advisory by the NOAA NWS National Hurricane Center issued late Saturday night time, native time.

“This rainfall may produce life-threatening flooding and mudslides for the windward and southeast Big Island, especially in deep terrain and over areas that were recently affected by Lala,” the heart said in the advisory.

The heart of Tropical Storm Moke is not expected to make landfall and will cross to the south of the Hawaiian islands, but up to 15 inches of rain could fall across Big Island and 3 to 6 inches of rain are expected to fall on japanese Maui, the heart also said.

Potential injury from Tropical Storm Moke is set to happen less than a week after Hurricane Lala battered the islands.

Hurricane Lala, now downgraded to a tropical storm and shifting northwest across the Pacific Ocean away from Hawaii at a slower pace, did not make landfall either, but dropped more than 30 inches of rain on some elements of Hawaii in a quick interval of time.

That heavy rainfall triggered floods and mudslides that destroyed roads and bridges. Floodwaters swept through several cities, lifting houses from their foundations.

More than 8,000 folks were still with out energy as of Saturday morning, and full restoration of the electrical energy provide is not expected until Sept. 8, according to the native grid firm, Hawaiian Electric.

At least one particular person, a 90-year-old girl, died in a flood brought on by the hurricane, according to Hawaii Public Radio. Hawaii Gov. Josh Green on Saturday signed a request asking the White House to declare an emergency in the wake of the earlier hurricane, Lala.

Hawaii County Mayor Kimo Alameda on Sunday inspired residents to put together for another battering, with the sturdy winds and heavy rains expected from Tropical Storm Moke.

“Please anticipate interruptions in power and communication and hazardous road conditions,” Alameda wrote on social media.
