Scores rescued by air from flood-ravaged Kauai communities

More than 150 people have been airlifted out of flood-ravaged Kauai communities, where raging, debris-laden waters tossed homes from their foundations, forced residents to flee to their rooftops and triggered at least eight separate landslides along Kuhio Highway.

Rescuers and volunteers, some on Jet Skis, fanned out across Kauai's north shore Monday to get help to those trapped by floodwaters.

More than 100 people have been airlifted out of the Haena and Wainiha areas alone and taken to the Kilauea gym. Meanwhile, those remaining in the communities, inaccessible by flood-damaged roads, can get food and water at Camp Naue.

In addition to getting help to those who need it, authorities — and residents — spent the day trying to better understand the scope of the damage. The universal assessment: They'd never seen anything like this before.

"I've lived here all my life and this storm was pretty gnarly," said resident Kevin Kaleiohi.

Hanalei resident Flora Quick said she was rescued from her roof by someone on a Jet Ski. The heavy rain flooded her property so quickly she was forced to go somewhere higher.

"When the water come in, it just only takes a few seconds," she said. "That’s when I decided, OK, I’m going to climb up."

She said the water rushing around her house was so powerful her home began to move. "I can feel that the house is shaking. If the house will shake enough to slide then that’s the end of it," she said.

Parts of the island saw more than 2 feet of rain, shattering previous records. In Hanalei, a rain gauge measured 28.15 inches of rain over the 24-hour period that ended at 2 a.m. Sunday, and then the gauge stopped working.

"This is unprecedented," said John Bravender, state warning coordination meteorologist.

A flash flood warning for Kauai finally expired about 1:45 a.m. Monday. A flash flood watch has also expired for Kauai and Oahu.

"I've lived here all my life and this is one of the most serious situations on Kauai," Mayor Bernard Carvalho told Hawaii News Now. "Things are just terrible. What we're really focusing on right now is search and rescue ... and a thorough damage assessment."

Authorities did celebrate a win Monday: Kuhio Highway near the Hanalei Bridge following repairs, allowing much-needed supplies to get into the community and those trapped since the rain started Sunday to get out.

Once the thoroughfare reopened, 121 people staying at a shelter in Hanalei were taken back to Princeville.

Carvalho and Gov. David Ige have signed emergency proclamations in the wake of the severe flooding, allowing government departments to work more quickly and nimbly to respond to needs.

Ige, who took an aerial tour of flood-ravaged communities, told reporters Monday that the damage to Kauai's north shore is "very extensive."

He said two Black Hawk helicopters have been deployed to send food, water and medical supplies to affected communities, and road access in flood-ravaged communities remains "very limited."

A full scope of the damage is not yet known.

More April Snow Expected in Midwest, Plains and Rockies This Week

Another round of snow is expected in parts of the Midwest and Plains midweek.

Yet another system will spread more snow into parts of the Rockies and High Plains late-week.

The calendar may say it's mid-April, but two separate weather systems will bring more snow to parts of the Midwest, Plains and Rockies this week.
This area of low pressure will press into the Plains Tuesday night and track into the upper Midwest Wednesday.

Snow is expected from parts of the Dakotas eastward to southern Minnesota, northern Iowa, northern and central Wisconsin and the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

A mix of rain and snow is possible farther south in portions of southern Wisconsin, northern Illinois and northern Lower Michigan
An area of moderate to locally heavy snowfall is possible from parts southern Minnesota and northern Iowa to central Wisconsin, where 6 inches or more of snow could pile up by late Wednesday.

Most other areas from the Dakotas to Michigan will see lighter accumulations totaling under 6 inches..
Thursday into Friday, as this system pivots through the Great Lakes and parts of the Northeast, light snow or rain may linger in parts of upstate New York and northern New England.

Late-Week Snowmaker
The second system is expected to be stronger than the one midweek.
