Here's what to know as the scope of damage from #Hawaii's #floods becomes clearer
By AUDREY McAVOY and GENE JOHNSON
March 23, 2026 at 3:18 pm PDTHONOLULU โ "The worst #flooding to hit Hawaii in two decades swept homes off their foundations, floated cars out of driveways and left floors, walls and counters covered in thick, reddish volcanic mud.
"Crews continued to assess the destruction Monday, but authorities said hundreds of homes had been damaged, along with some schools and a hospital.
"No deaths have been reported, but more than 230 people had to be rescued. Rain continued to the southeastern part of the state and a section of the #BigIsland was under a #FlashFlood warning.
"Gov. Josh Green said the cost of the storm could top $1 billion, including damage to airports, schools, roads, homes and a Maui hospital in Kula. He called it the stateโs most serious since flooding since 2004, when floods in Manoa inundated homes and a University of Hawaii library.
"On Oahu's North Shore, famed for big wave surfing, the waters rose quickly after midnight Friday as heavy rains fell on soil already saturated by downpours from a winter storm a week earlier. Raging waters lifted homes and cars. The storm prompted evaluation orders for 5,500 people north of Honolulu โ though they were later lifted โ and more than 230 people were rescued from the rising waters.
"Some residents fled on surfboards as water reached waist or chest high.
"Farms around the state reported more than $9.4 million worth of damage as of Monday, according to a survey conducted by Agriculture Stewardship Hawaii, the Hawaii Farm Bureau and other organizations. Oahu farmers reported more than $2.7 million in crop damage.
Winter storm systems brought severe deluges"Officials blamed some of the devastation on the sheer amount of rain that fell in a short amount of time.
"Parts of Oahu received 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 centimeters), the National Weather Service said. That was on top of another recent storm that had dumped vast amounts days earlier. Kaala, the islandโs highest peak, got nearly 16 inches (40 centimeters) late last week, on top of 26.6 inches (67.6 centimeters) between March 10 and 16.
"Winter storm systems known as '#Kona lows,' which feature southerly or southwesterly winds that bring in moisture-laden air, have been responsible for the deluges in the past two weeks. The intensity and frequency of heavy rains in Hawaii have increased amid human-caused #GlobalWarming, experts say.
"The worst of the storms appeared to be over by Sunday afternoon."

Power came back on around noon and I got in the shower which slowly transitioned from between lukewarm and brisk pretty much the whole time. So, I didn't have to go to my friend's place for dinner (delicious sausage sauce pasta) and board games (Kill Doctor Lucky) whilst simultaneously greasy and flakey.
I did need to bum a ride because the rain flooded our garage parking like always. I ordered some over-the-shoes rain covers for next time.

How wildfires leave communities vulnerable to flooding, mudslides for years
#Wildfires of every size leave behind something known as a #BurnScar, or the area of land charred by flames and left devoid of vegetation.
By Brian Lada
"#Flooding and #DebrisFlows can happen with little warning in burn scars and most commonly occur during a heavy thunderstorm or major #rainstorm.
"'Rainfall that would normally be absorbed will run off extremely quickly after a #wildfire, as burned soil can be as water repellent as pavement. As a result, much less rainfall [than normal] is required to produce a #FlashFlood,' The National Weather Service (#NWS) said."

I often remark to friends about #Pakistan 's mountainous north being unsuitable for life now thanks to #ClimateChange induced melting, flooding, and landslides.
The #Karakorum #Highway the world's highest such motorway connecting Pak to #China should be thought of a "seasonal" road now, gets washed away on an annual basis, sometimes more frequently.
We cannot afford to rebuild every year!

#Ruidoso > #SouthForkFire and #SaltFire .... A flash flood warning is now in effect for the Blue 2, Salt, South Fork, and McBride burn scars around Ruidoso.
Potentially heavy rainfall is headed towards #Ruidoso today. While this could help suppress the South Fork and Salt wildfires, it could also trigger additional #mudslides and #flashflood emergencies.
If you did not evacuate, please be aware of your surroundings, be prepared to move to higher ground. Know the risks, prepare before your area is threatened.

"'Leominster is about 26 square miles. We have 12 hills, and obviously from those hills comes the water,' the mayor said. 'And with 11 inches of rain, it just adds to the โฆ water (going) downhill.'"
