Hawaii Hit With More Flooding as Heat Tops Records in West

Heavy rains were being dragged across Hawaii by a “Kona low” for the second time in two weeks, prompting residents to flee their homes and closing roads across the island chain.

Evacuations were ordered in the Waialua and Haleiwa sections of northwest Oahu after flooding threatened a dam in the area, the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency said on its website. Roads across Oahu have been closed by flooding, according to the state’s transportation department.
