Footage and photos capture the aftermath of catastrophic flooding in Hawaii, deemed the worst in two decades.
It comes after severe rain and damaging winds that resulted in evacuation orders, more than 200 rescues, power outages and enough damage that could cost over $1 billion, officials said.
Video shows a Coast Guard officer looking for signs of distress in the murky water in affected neighborhoods. According to HawaiiNewsNow, Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi spoke on the widespread damage to residents' homes.
"Like everybody and anybody, I’m grateful that so far everybody’s alive, but I recognize the fact that a lot of homes have been destroyed," Blangiardi said, per the outlet.
"A lot of people’s lives are going to be upended from the standpoint of the challenge of what they’re going to have to do going forward, and we’re just all going to have to dig in," he continued.
