"The North Shore is pretty gnarly right now. So hopefully everyone's safe and getting out... Stay safe out there."
"This is going to have a very serious consequence for us as a state."
"The storm's cost could top $1 billion, including damage to airports, schools, roads, people's homes and a Maui hospital in Kula."
Oahu is experiencing its worst flooding in two decades, leading to evacuation orders for 5,500 residents and over 200 rescues. Jason Momoa evacuated his home, expressing concern for those still affected. The North Shore, known for surfing, is submerged in floodwaters due to heavy rains on already saturated soil. Governor Josh Green estimates damages could exceed $1 billion, impacting infrastructure and homes. Federal support has been assured for the state. Momoa's band postponed a performance due to the situation.
