Hurricane Lala batters Hawaii, weakens to tropical storm

Hurricane Lala skirted Hawaii's Big Island, bringing hurricane-force gusts, heavy rain, and widespread power outages that left at least one person dead.

The storm weakened to a tropical storm as it moved west, leaving communities to begin recovery efforts.

Over 100,000 customers remained without power, and roads, bridges, and homes were destroyed.

Cleanup began as residents assessed the damage, with officials warning that some outages could last weeks or months.
