A combustible mix of surface and upper air instability, and deep tropical moisture, brought periods of strong winds, heavy rain, thunderstorms, and flash flooding to parts of the Aloha State. Lightning strikes led to power outages, and gusty winds toppled trees and power lines. A woman on Oahu was injured as a tree toppled over onto a bus stop structure where she was standing on the 23rd. No other injuries were reported. The cost of damages was not available.
