Hawaii’s worst flooding in 20 years threatens dam, prompts evacuations, as more rain looms
HONOLULU: Hawaii officials urged people in hard-hit areas to evacuate Saturday due to the state’s worst flooding in more than 20 years, after heavy rains fell on soil already saturated by downpours from a winter storm a week ago with still more expected over the weekend. Muddy floodwaters smothered vast stretches of Oahu’s North Shore, a community world-renowned for its big-wave surfing. Raging waters lifted homes and cars and prompted evacuation orders for 5,500 people north of Honolulu, though they were later lifted. Authorities cautioned that a 120-year-old dam could fail.
