‘You can see everything’: Hurricane Lala unearths graves, remains at Hawaii Island cemetery

Hurricane Lala struck Hawaii Island, generating a torrent of water and debris that blocked Kaʻalaiki Road leading to the Nāʻālehu Cemetery. The storm scattered numerous headstones, caskets, and remains across the burial grounds, causing heartbreak among lifelong residents.
