Share this @internewscast.com

Amidst a severe storm that wreaked havoc on the Hawaiian islands, renowned actor Jason Momoa was among the thousands who had to evacuate due to hazardous and potentially lethal flooding.

Oahu is experiencing its worst flooding in over two decades, prompting large-scale evacuations, particularly around the Wahiawa dam as water levels surged.

Momoa shared his experience on Instagram, mentioning that he had to leave the North Shore with his family after losing electricity.

“We’re safe now, but many others are not, so we’re sending them all our love,” he stated.

The star of Aquaman also posted videos showing the flood near his father’s residence, describing the devastation as “crazy” and urging his followers to prioritize their safety.

Hawaiian authorities have issued evacuation orders for more than 5,000 residents, cautioning that the 120-year-old dam could face “imminent failure.”

In less than 24 hours, water levels surged from 79ft to 84ft, just six feet below capacity. Up to 12 inches of rain has fallen on Hawaii.

All of Hawaii remains under a flood watch through Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.

Momoa said the dangerous weather forced him to cancel a music event planned for the weekend.

The actor, who was born in Honolulu, posted on Instagram ahead of the weekend that the past weeks had been ‘heavy’ for his home state.

‘The storms, the flooding, the constant rain across Oahu have affected so many of our people especially those already facing hardship,’ Momoa said.

He added: ‘Seeing families displaced, communities struggling, and our unhoused neighbors hit the hardest…’

Momoa encouraged locals to check in on neighbors ahead of a dangerous next few days.

‘That’s what aloha is,’ Momoa wrote. ‘It’s showing up for each other when it matters most.’

Up to 12 inches of rain in parts of Oahu has caused life-threatening flooding in communities including Haleiwa and Waialua.

An alert posted by the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency on Saturday morning said there was still ‘potential for heavy rain’ threatening the Wahiawa dam.

Floodwaters, landslides and downed trees have made roads impassable, making it incredibly tough to move around.

All roads out of Waialua were at risk of failure, and officials have urged anyone still in place to leave before conditions get worse.

No deaths have been reported so far, Hawaii Gov Josh Green said Saturday afternoon on X.

Green reported ‘a few serious injuries’ but did not give more details.

More than 230 people have been rescued so far and no one remains unaccounted for.

About 10 people had been hospitalized with hypothermia.

‘This is a major threat to our people and to our state,’ Green said Friday.

More than $1 billion in damage could be caused by the flooding as airports, homes, roads and schools get battered.

One hundred and thirty-one people were placed into six evacuation shelters overnight, according to the Honolulu Department of Emergency Management.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) said they were monitoring the ‘severe flooding.’

‘Our teams on the island are embedded and ready to support if needed to help safeguard lives and communities,’ FEMA posted on X.

The Kona storm has also caused thousands in Hawaii to lose electricity.

About 6,400 customers in Oahu were without power as of Saturday, according to KHON2.

That included about 4,200 on the North Shore, which is where Momoa fled.

This is the second powerful storm system to hit Hawaii in two weeks, as a first Kona blasted the state from March 10 to March 16.
