Flash flooding has devastated parts of Hawaii, including the North Shore of Oahu and Haleiwa Town specifically. After nearly two days of torrential rain in Hawaii, Maui, Kalawao, and Kauai that saw up to three inches per hour, the city and county of Haleiwa issued an emergency evacuation notice on Tuesday. It has since been lifted. The damage, however, is extensive. Homes are flooded, cars are submerged, trees are down, and roads are closed. “I’ve lived on the North Shore my whole life,” wrote Ryan De Seixas, the man who shot the aerial footage below, on YouTube. “I have never seen Haleiwa flood like this before.”
Evacuation order lifted for Haleiwa residents, but threat of flooding remains
