Sunday, March 22, 2026-Authorities in Oahu have extended a flash flood warning as severe weather continues to impact the island, with parts of the North Shore still under evacuation orders.
Heavy rainfall has caused rapid rises in water levels across streams and low-lying areas, prompting officials to warn residents of dangerous flooding conditions. Emergency services have urged people to avoid flood-prone zones and to seek higher ground if necessary.
The evacuation order remains in effect for certain communities in the North Shore area, where flooding has been most severe. Authorities are closely monitoring rivers and drainage systems as rainfall continues to pose a threat to homes, roads, and infrastructure.
Local officials have also cautioned against driving through flooded roads, noting that even shallow water can be hazardous. Rescue teams are on standby to respond to emergencies, and residents have been advised to stay alert to updates from weather and emergency management agencies.
The situation remains fluid, with meteorologists warning that additional rainfall could prolong flooding risks. Authorities say they will continue to assess conditions and adjust warnings and evacuation orders as needed to ensure public safety.
