Oct 29, 2026

A storm dumped heavy rain on East Maui overnight, triggering landslides and flooding that cut off several roads, which is bad news for residents and visitors in the area.

  • Heavy overnight rain caused multiple land and rockslides on the east side of Maui.
  • Several East Maui roads are now blocked by debris and floodwater.
  • The National Park Service evacuated people from Haleakala National Park, and the Kipahulu district is closed.
  • No injuries have been reported, and county crews are on standby to respond.
  • Emergency officials are warning people to stay off flooded roads and streams, and the Helen Hall shelter in Hana is open for anyone who needs to evacuate.

Outlook: Officials have not said when the roads will reopen and are monitoring conditions until the flash flood threat passes.
