The National Hurricane Center said Lala’s maximum sustained winds increased to 75 mph (120 kph), making it a Category 1 hurricane. The storm’s center was forecast to move over or near the island’s southern end by the evening, lashing its worst winds at volcanic slopes thousands of feet above sea level.
On one of the local stations here they noted that when the storm reforms as a hurricane, it will cross the international date line and then become known as a typhoon. So I’m guessing it’s a Western/Eastern hemisphere thing now?
