Video: A Motorist Captures Dramatic View Of Flash Flooding In East Oahu
Instagram user @Papadru808 captured rare video of a flash flood on Kalanianaole Highway near Aina Haina Friday evening.
A Kuliouou resident shared video of flash flooding on Kalanianaole Highway after strong thunderstorms crossed over Oahu Friday evening.
His truck got stuck on the highway between Niu Valley and Kuliouou around 8:30 p.m. Friday.
You can see multiple vehicles left stranded due to the flooding. Andrew Pangan says he had about 4 to 5 inches of water in his truck during the flooding.
Hawaii Department of Transportation crews were working Saturday to clear debris from the highway now that the flooding has receded.
HDOT crews continue working to clear mud and debris from Kalanianaole Hwy through Niu Valley in both directions. Traffic is congested. Avoid the area if possible. Crews cleared Kalanianaole Hwy in Waimanalo overnight.
