Hawaii's worst flooding in 20 years threatens dam, prompts evacuations

Hawaii is experiencing its worst flooding in over 20 years, with massive rains hitting already-saturated soil on Oahu's North Shore, prompting evacuation orders for 5,500 people and fears that a 120-year-old dam could fail. Governor Josh Green estimated damages could exceed $1 billion, with over 200 people rescued and dozens to hundreds of homes damaged. Federal support has been assured, and the National Guard conducted airlifts while more heavy rain was expected over the weekend.
