Summary

Hurricane Nolo intensified to Category 3 strength in the Pacific Ocean with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph before crossing the International Date Line on October 4, 2026, where it transitioned to Typhoon Nolo with 100 mph winds. The storm remained west of Hawaii's populated islands, though it affected the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument with large swells and a tropical storm warning. A power line serving Kalaupapa on Molokai was damaged by the hurricane, causing an outage that began September 27 and affected approximately 60 residents, patients, and staff who had been displaced since September 11 due to a separate water pump malfunction. Power was restored by early October after helicopter-assisted repairs to the conductor line. On Hawaii Island, families continued rebuilding from Hurricane Nolo and earlier storms including Hurricane Lala in August and Kona-low storms in March, with health and disaster-relief organizations providing support for housing, mental health, and basic necessities.
