HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - A broad evacuation order for Haleiwa town was lifted late Tuesday as the threat of “catastrophic flooding” from torrential rains subsided. While the heavy rains started to let up by early evening, water levels in swollen waterways were slower to recede and authorities warned severe flooding was still a possibility. The order was lifted about 11:30 p.m. seven hours after it was issued. A flash flood warning that was in effect for much of the day also expired around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday. But with the ground so saturated, National Weather Service forecasters warned that any rains could trigger flooding.
