Clear Facts
- Heavy seasonal cyclones forced actor Jason Momoa and his family to flee their O’ahu home after losing power.
- Hawaii suffered its worst flooding in over 20 years, with potential damages estimated to exceed $1 billion.
- State officials issued evacuation orders for 5,500 people north of Honolulu as rescues reached over 200 citizens.
The North Shore of O’ahu faced historic devastation as heavy rainfall and seasonal cyclones battered the Hawaiian Islands. High-profile residents were not immune to the chaos, and actor Jason Momoa was forced to evacuate his family.
Momoa reported that he and his family remained safe despite the gnarly conditions that left thousands of neighbors without power.
The actor spent time following the disaster distributing over 200 plates of food to those hit hardest by the rising waters.
“We’re safe for now but there’s a lot of people who weren’t, so sending all of our love,” Momoa told his followers.
“The North Shore is pretty gnarly right now. So hopefully everyone’s safe and getting out. Stay safe out there.”
“These past weeks have been heavy. The storms, the flooding, the constant rain across Oʻahu have affected so many of our people especially those already facing hardship. Seeing families displaced, communities struggling, and our unhoused neighbors hit the hardest.”
Governor Josh Green noted that the state remains in a precarious position as damage reports include severe impacts to airports, roads, and hospitals.
While property damage is immense, officials are grateful that no deaths have been reported following the massive rescue operations.
“That’s what aloha is. It’s showing up for each other when it matters most.”
