HAIKU “Unprecedented rainfall” sent floodwaters over the edge of a dam in Haiku Monday afternoon, damaging half a dozen homes, destroying a bridge and forcing the evacuation of residents downstream.
Firefighters responded to more than a dozen calls from residents surrounded by rising floodwaters.
Shortly before 3 p.m. Monday, the National Weather Service warned of “imminent failure” of the Kaupakalua Dam in Haiku.
