Road to Kauai's North Shore Closed
Kuhio Highway on Kauai, the only road to the north shore, is closed. The road is actually gone, washed into the ocean after a dam broke after weeks of heavy rain. The onrushing water completely leveled an area forest, washed away two houses, and destroyed the road. 7 residents are missing and feared dead. :( :( :(
It's still raining.
I don't know what the arriving and departing visitors to the area are doing - there's been no word.
County crews hope to have a lane open sometime today, but it's still raining and there are fears of a second dam breaking and doing it all over again. Keep an eye on the front page of the advertiser for updates.

It has been a sad series of events for many of the Hawaiian islands. Hopefully this rain will subside and things will dry out and become safe.
So far things continue to cause troubles, sewer backup on the ala wai, etc.
On a better note, nice blog and keep up the good posting.
The road is now open but we on Kauai are still feeling sad from this huge tragedy. The sun came out and the winds dried out the island, now we have wet weather again. More on Kauai's floods here Kauai flooding
