Historic flooding devastates Hawaii

A powerful kona storm triggered historic flooding in Hawaii over the weekend, causing widespread damage and displacing families across multiple islands. 

The storm followed another low-pressure system just days earlier. Together, the two storms dropped nearly 50 inches of rain in some areas within a week — destroying homes, washing out roads and straining critical infrastructure. 

Authorities say the flooding is the worst Hawaii has seen in more than 20 years. Hundreds of people were rescued, and more than 5,000 people were evacuated in Northern Oahu amid concerns that the 120-year-old Wahiawa Dam could fail.

Though waters are receding, a flash flood warning is still in effect through Monday afternoon for parts of the state. As cleanup efforts continue, early estimates suggest total damage could reach $1 billion.
