【大紀元2018年08月25日訊】颶風萊恩（Lane）侵襲夏威夷大島，在近24小時內帶來了近20英寸降雨，造成洪水和泥石流。
預計颶風眼不會越過這些島嶼，但國家氣象局警告說，「可能會在許多地區造成危及生命的影響。」

美國總統川普已經宣布夏威夷進入緊急狀態，並向當地投放賑災資金。美國氣象部門表示，「萊恩」已減弱為4級風暴，但仍有每小時130英里（約合215公里）的風速，引發暴雨、狂風和巨浪。

視頻顯示，大島上的一條河流洪水氾濫，導致水流進街道。
因房屋被洪水淹沒，五名遊客在居所中被救出。
據悉，這是自1992年颶風伊尼基以來登陸該州的最強風暴。 美國國家氣象局表示，已在毛伊（Maui）縣、大島和瓦胡島（Oahu）發出颶風警報。

在夏威夷港停駐的、美國太平洋艦隊的軍艦和潛艇已離開港口，以免受到颶風損壞。海軍飛機也停放在機庫或飛往其它機場以避開風暴。

We are being evacuated. The neighborhood is too dangerous as the water from the Wailuku River keeps rising. Fire, police and county officials want us to move about 100 feet down the hill. There are still people stranded in homes. #HurricaneLane pic.twitter.com/93WqBeTI2f
