Accounting for Naalehu residents after deadly flooding
Crews on Hawaii's Big Island are still trying to confirm that everyone in Naalehu survived last weekend's flooding, and a second storm is already on the way.
- Two people are confirmed dead after floodwaters tore through the town on Saturday.
- The National Guard and county workers are going door to door to find out who is still unaccounted for.
- No new missing person reports have been filed, and some people may simply be staying with friends or traveling.
- The dead are John Hills, a retired physics professor in his 60s, and Mae Doi, a 93-year-old retired teacher.
- Floodwaters ripped open graves at the local cemetery, and special teams are working to secure them.
Outlook: Wellness checks will continue for the next few days, with heavy rain possible again over the weekend.
