Hanalei is under water after 27" in 24 hours.
I know many here have special feelings about Kauai, like I do.
This is a very exceptional storm bring the highest flooding in living memory.
I got word that my family is ok, they are stranded in Haena at home for now. With mudslides and washed out highway between them and the rest of the island, but ok.
Many have had water in their homes, some houses washed away, lots of other damage.
Please send your aloha for Kauai their way.
