Hawaii is grappling with its most severe flooding in over two decades, as torrential rains battered ground already saturated by a recent winter storm. Officials warned of further downpours expected throughout the weekend.
Oahu's iconic North Shore, famed for its big-wave surfing, was submerged under muddy floodwaters. The deluge dislodged homes and vehicles, prompting evacuation orders for 5,500 residents north of Honolulu. Authorities also raised concerns about the potential failure of a 120-year-old dam.
