Hawaii’s North Shore faced its worst flooding in 20 years due to a powerful Kona low, prompting evacuation of over 5,000 residents, including actor Jason Momoa and his family. Authorities reported no deaths, rescued 200+, and treated some for hypothermia. Flood warnings and road closures remained, while Momoa highlighted relief efforts and urged community support.
Washington: Hollywood actor Jason Momoa and his family were among thousands evacuated from O'ahu's North Shore as catastrophic flooding struck Hawaii, marking the region's worst deluge in two decades.
The extreme weather event, triggered by a powerful Kona low, a seasonal cyclone system, is the second major storm to hit the Hawaiian islands within a week, as per Deadline.
Authorities confirmed that rising floodwaters and the threat of dam failure forced evacuation orders for more than 5,000 residents north of Honolulu over the weekend, reported Deadline.
Momoa shared an update through a now-expired Instagram Story, confirming his family's safety while acknowledging the broader crisis.
