Other islands were also battered, including Oahu, where maximum wind gusts topped 50 mph. Parts of the island were inundated with nearly 10 inches of rain, according to preliminary totals from the NWS. One person died on Oahu, Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said, though it has not yet been confirmed that the death was storm-related.Lowell has since weakened to a tropical storm and continues to move away from Hawaii, but residual tropical moisture could bring additional precipitation and storms Wednesday over the island chain, which could slow cleanup efforts in some hard-hit areas.This was far from the first storm to leave a trail of damage in Hawaii over the last six months. Parts of Oahu and the Big Island saw intense flooding from Hurricane Lala just weeks ago, with some additional rain from Tropical Storm Moke on the Big Island soon after. In March, more than 25 inches of rain fell over parts of Oahu, with Maui recording more than 19 inches.
