Severe rains trigger flooding and evacuations in Hawaii
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: In Hawaii, floodwaters from severe rains inundated streets, pushed homes off their foundations, swallowed vehicles and prompted evacuation orders for thousands of residents in towns north of Honolulu as officials warned of the possible failure of a 120-year-old Wahiawa dam.
Emergency sirens blared along Oahu’s North Shore, where rising waters damaged homes in a community world-renowned for its surfing. Honolulu officials told residents yesterday to leave the area downstream of Wahiawa dam, saying it was at risk of imminent failure. A spokesperson for Honolulu, Ian Scheuring, said there were no immediate reports of deaths or injuries, but some homes had been swept away.
