Hawaii’s worst rainstorm in decades, by the numbers:
• Up to 46 inches of rain in parts of Maui
• Oʻahu saw 20+ inches, triggering island-wide flooding
• Some spots got hit with 1 to 3 inches per hour
• Honolulu broke a rainfall record from 1951
• Kahului logged its wettest stretch ever recorded
• 230+ people rescued from floodwaters
• 5,000 to 10,000+ people evacuated
• Over 100,000 homes lost power during the storm
• Damage already estimated at $1 Billion+
Officials are calling this the worst flooding in over 20 years.
This
Kona low stalled over the islands, pulling in nonstop tropical
moisture… and since the ground was already soaked from earlier storms,
everything just turned into runoff instantly.
Help Hawaii recover by
supporting local when businesses reopen. Be careful of fake fundraisers
online. Respect the time and space needed to recover during natural
disasters.
Don't expect business as usual as soon as the rain stops.
Mahalo to Aquaman himself, Jason Momoa for pitching in and helping the
community.
