Hawaii Faces Renewed Major Flood Threat from Multi-Day Storm Two Weeks After Record Flooding A potent multi-day storm is intensifying over Hawaii, bringing heavy rainfall and renewing a significant flood threat across the islands just two weeks after the state experienced its worst flooding in 20 years. The storm, which is not classified as a traditional Kona storm but carries similar impacts, is expected to deliver 8 to 12 inches of rain in some areas by Friday evening, with the highest totals in mountainous regions. A flood watch remains in effect for the entire state until Friday afternoon, raising concerns for widespread flooding and landslides on already saturated ground. The threat will increase first on Kauai and Oahu on Thursday before spreading to Maui and the Big Island. Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi warned of possible island-wide evacuations and activated the city's Emergency Operations Center, with first responders pre-positioned in vulnerable areas. This marks the third major storm to hit Hawaii since mid-March. The previous one caused catastrophic flooding on Oahu, with over a foot of rain in some spots triggering more than 200 rescues and damaging or destroying hundreds of properties. Parts of Maui also saw serious flooding and wind damage earlier. Strong winds up to 60 mph could down trees and cause power outages in parts of Kauai and Oahu. Early showers have already prompted flash flood warnings, with over half a foot of rain reported in some areas of the Big Island. Officials emphasize that every inch of rain now has a greater impact due to the saturated soil, which leads to faster runoff and quicker flooding. Rain is forecast to ease slightly Friday night into Saturday, but another surge may arrive Sunday. Residents are urged to prepare for potential disruptions and monitor updates closely.

America and Israel continue to bomb Iran, spending billions of dollars in the process.

Iran hits back with drones that cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Meanwhile, parts of my community have been underwater.

There is craziness happening around the world.

There is craziness happening across America.

And today, there was craziness in “Paradise.”

No storms are meant to be trifled with.

That includes Kona storms.

Power came back on (second time).

Considering the stormy conditions that are still ongoing throughout Oahu, Hawaiian Electric is doing the best they can to restore the electricity.

Hearing the screams of the buildings around us in Waikīkī. Some with power, some without power. Heading into night time with 1/2 the islands without power. #HawaiiWx #KonaStorm

During a blackout, one must have a strong 🔦 that works as a secondary 🚨 source.

The storm is getting worse says Thor and we are hunkered down inside! 👀☔️☔️☔️🐶🥰😇😴🥹 #konastorm #maui

It’s 3am and the wind in rhis #KonaStorm is insane! I feel like it’s just a matter of time before our power goes out.

A #KonaStorm is moving across #Hawaii and it looks like the winds are finally picking up for us in #Holualoa. The latest forecast states that we will get 300mm of rain over the next couple of days. These storms can get really intense.

Stay Safe.

Aloha ⛈️🙏🏼🤙🏼

Kona storms are a type of seasonal cyclone in the Hawaiian Islands, usually formed in the winter from winds coming from the westerly "kona" direction. They are mainly cold core cyclones, which places them in the extratropical cyclone rather than the subtropical cyclone […]

According to my new rain gauge, last night’s torrential rainfall amounted to just over five inches! This morning, the wind has calmed and it’s no longer raining, but it is gloomy in upcountry Maui.
