HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Scenes of flooding Tuesday brought back unnerving memories for residents on Kauai’s North Shore this week.
Homes and roads in the rural areas of Wainiha, Haena and Hanalei were flooded after Kauai got several inches of rain over the last few days. It prompted road closures of Kuhio Highway at the Hanalei Bridge, and also left behind a muddy mess triggering landslides and severe erosion.
Kauai Mayor Derek Kawakami signed a disaster declaration Wednesday to free up emergency funds in response to the flooding.
