Heavy rain flooded roads on Molokai's east side, forcing public schools on the island to close for a day, but the news is good since all schools are expected to reopen quickly.

• Rain flooded streams and roads on Molokai's east side, cutting off some residents.
• All Molokai public schools closed for the day and are set to reopen Thursday.
• Some low-lying areas, like Pulehu, flood easily because residents have to cross multiple streams to reach town, and past storms have left people temporarily trapped.
• This storm was milder than the storms Molokai saw in March, so damage was limited.
• Residents and local community groups are leaning harder into flood preparedness, with some already laying down sandbags before this storm hit.

Outlook: Skies are clearing and schools should be back open as scheduled, though residents in flood-prone areas are bracing for more storms ahead.
