WATER IS FALLING FROM THE SKY
AND MORE
BEING PUSHED INLAND FROM THE
OCEAN.
MARISA:
WE'LL GET TO THE RAIN IN JUST A
MOMENT, BUT
FIRST --- THE TIDES.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS --- THIS IS
ALL OCEAN
WATER WASHING UP ONTO THE ROAD
NEAR
...WE'VE BEEN GETTING LOTS OF
CALLS FROM
VIEWERS REPORTING TIDAL FLOODING
IN
ROADS AND IT EVEN FORCED THE
WEEKLY FIREWORKS
SHOW AT THE HILTON TO BE
CANCELED.
ELYSSA AREVALO JOINS US LIVE
WITH A LOOK AT
HEY HOWARD AND MARISA, I'M HERE
AT THE
HILTON HAWAIIAN VILLAGE IN
WAIKIKI AND
THE WATER HAS CALMED DOWN A BIT
NOW BUT
JUST A FEW HOURS AGO, THE SCENE
WAS MUCH
CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO WE SHOT
AROUND 6;00
GOING OVER THE SIDEWALK THAT
SEPARATES THE
BEACH AND THE HILTON'S LAGOON,
CONNECTING
HILTON LAUNCHES ITS WEEKLY
DECISION TO
PIER HERE HAD TO DOCK SOMEWHERE
ELSE.
"there;s a lot of people falling
on the waves and
being held just on the shore"
THIS SIDE OF WAIKIKI WASN'T THE
ONLY PLACE
FLOODED OUT. ALA MOANA BEACH
PARK ALSO SEEING WATER
GOING ALL THE WAY UP WALL THAT
SEPARATES
THE BEACH FROM THE ROAD. WE ALSO
HEARD OF TIDES RISING IN WEST
ELYSSA AREVALO:
BUT ASIDE FROM THE FIREWORKS
BEING
CANCELLED AND THE BOATS HAVING
TO BE
REROUTED, THERE WERE NO REPORTS
OF
THE HIGH WATER DOING ANY SERIOUS
DAMAGE. ELYSSA AREVALO KHON2
DASH:
WATER COMING UP THAT HIGH IS
VERY UNUSUAL,
SO JUSTIN WHAT'S CAUSING IT? IT
CAN'T JUST BE HIGH TIDE, RIGHT?
JUSTIN:
HOWARD IT'S A COMBINATION OF
THINGS,
ITS ACTULLY JUST SIMPLE
A HIGH
SURF ADVISORY FOR SOUTH
SHORES... SO
YOU ALREADY HAD WAVES IN THE 5
TO 8
FOOT RANGE PRETTY MUCH ALL DAY
LONG.
THEN AT 6:15 TONIGHT A HIGH TIDE
SURGES THE
COASTLINE... AND IT WAS LARGE...
2 FEET.
THE COMBINATION OF THE SWELL AND
THE TIDE
TOMORROW THE SWELL IS ON THE WAY
DOWN...
BUT ANOTHER HIGH TIDE OVER TWO
FEET IS
EXPECTED... SO THERE MIGHT STILL
BE SOME
RUN UP... BUT NOT AS LARGE
ALL ISLANDS ARE UNDER A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH
TONIGHT... AND ANY PREVIOUS
FLOOD
FOR OAHU... AND MORE FROM THE
SOUTH FOR MAUI.
HERE'S A LOOK AT THE FUTURE
RADAR... KAUAI
AND OAHU LOOKS LIKE IT WILL
CLEAR UP BY
GOES... INTO MAUI
MAYBE EVEN THE BIG ISLAND
TOMORROW.
THE RAIN RETREATS BACK OVER OAHU
AND
MAUI COUNTY HAS THE POTENTIAL OF
HEAVY
RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THREE
AGAIN, STORM FRONT AND A CUT-OFF
LOW OR KONA LOW OVER THE
ISLANDS... SPORADIC HEAVY RAIN
POSSIBLY
TUESDAY.
