Responders rescued 10 people, including five boys, from rushing water in streams.
The Honolulu Fire Department (HFD) responded to 90 storm-related incidents between Monday and Tuesday morning after heavy rain flooded parts of Oahu.Īccording to a press release, most of the calls were for flooded houses, but they received reports of downed trees and power lines and blown-off roofs. There was just too much water at one time, which led to flooding, says KGMB/KHNL reporter Lynn Kawano.

Sheets of drenching rain came down as low-lying roads pooled with water, forcing drivers to navigate the flooded roadways. Relentless rain in Hawaii left parts of the state under the threat of “significant and life-threatening flooding,” the National Weather Service in Honolulu said Monday night, with some areas already tallying more than a foot of rain over a 48-hour span.
As a result, power was restored this morning to six buildings, including the State Capitol, state office and city municipal buildings, district court, Central Pacific Bank and First Hawaiian Bank,” the statement said. “Hawaiian Electric crews worked throughout the night to restore service to customers in downtown Honolulu and Chinatown and were able to repair one of three transformers damaged by flooding. Power has been restored to parts of downtown Honolulu after heavy rain flooded the area, but many residents and businesses will remain without power through Tuesday, according to a statement from Hawaii Electric. East southeast wind to around 16 mph 26 kph, with wind gusts to near 23 mph 36 kph.
