Honolulu has issued an evacuation order for the Waialua and Haleiwa areas due to 'extremely dangerous flooding' and rising water levels at the Wahiawa Dam
Authorities issued urgent evacuation orders on Oahu’s North Shore after a potential failure at Wahiawa Dam threatened life-threatening flooding. Residents in Haleiwa and Waialua were told to evacuate immediately as flooding was reported along nearby streams.
Honolulu city officials said this morning that water levels remain consistent at Wahiawa Dam so the evacuation notice for the area has been lifted.
