A strong storm hitting Hawaii has knocked out power, brought
down tree branches, flooded coastal roads — and even brought snow.

Snow is not unheard of in mountainous parts of the tropical
island chain, but officials say the coating at 6,200 feet (1,900 meters)
at a state park on Maui could mark the lowest-elevation snowfall ever

kph) in some areas, and the agency is warning of coastal flooding. A
high-surf advisory was in effect for north- and west-facing shores of
several islands.
