First Look At Inundation On Oahu

March 21, 2026

Oahu is experiencing the worst flooding Hawaii has seen in over 20 years, with damage estimates exceeding $1 billion as homes, roads, schools, airports and a Maui hospital have been impacted. More than 230 people have been rescued, including 72 children and adults airlifted by the National Guard and Honolulu Fire Department from a spring break youth camp. About 5,500 people remain under evacuation orders. Parts of Oahu have already received more than 8 inches of rain, with forecasters warning several more inches are expected this weekend on already saturated ground.
