Sep 07, 2026

Roads on Windward Oahu are back open after flooding shut down part of Kamehameha Highway, and nobody was hurt.

  • Flooding closed Kamehameha Highway between Waiahole Valley Road and Waiahole Homestead Road.
  • Waikane Stream spilled over the highway and trapped drivers in their cars.
  • Firefighters pulled motorists out of the stranded vehicles.
  • Both directions are now clear, with no injuries reported.

Outlook: Traffic is moving again, though more heavy rain could close the same stretch of road.
