Feat. Jack Johnson.
Oahu’s North Shore felt the brunt of a very mean Pacific storm, yesterday, and many Haleiwa residents were forced to evacuate as officials feared “catastrophic flooding.”
While not as mean as the world’s greatest surfer Kelly Slater, the storm system dumped much water on the island, destroying roads and swelling rivers.
The National Weather Service described the usually tranquil Opaeula Stream, flowing through town, as “particularly dangerous” with levels rising from 4 to 16 feet Hawaiian.
Locals described the terror they felt as the sky opened up and poured down its savagery upon them.
“It was kind of dry and then all of a sudden!” One couple said. “… We thought we were gonna be OK and the next minute it was on our stoop and another few minutes it was going to be in the house.”
While not as savage as the 11-time world champion, it still sounds scary.
The storm system also soaked Maui, Kauai and the Big Island and Oahu’s south shore where a gushing river washed an unsuspecting man away.
The song and bath time fun man Jack Johnson was videoed saving lives earlier.

Extremely brave.
Not the hero we deserve but have nonetheless.
Thoughts etc.
That is a rotten flood in a pretty neat neighborhood. Are the North Shore surf brand corporate houses OK?
MMA is gay.
Yez. Mostly localized to south town. Almost everything N of the bridge by killer tacos was ok.

Looks like there’s going to be an acai shortage in Hanalei.
That was a particularly enjoyable article, Chas. Thanks.
4-16 ft Hawaiian killed me.
One of my favorite places…North Shore Goodies…is looking kind of rough in the footage I’ve seen.
Hopefully they are okay.
Someone else posted footage on Instagram of flooding on Ke-Nui Road in front of Pipe.
No word if JOB had water in the house.

Many a lifted truck hater silenced on Kam hwy yesterday.
The internal rage
From the son of an alcho
Is on full display
The guilt of the Dad
Who wasn’t ever present
Also on display
Ageing gracefully
Is certainly not a part
Of Kelly’s life plan
