"HILO, Hawai'i — Flooding from two days of heavy rain damaged at least four
Hilo homes yesterday morning, forced Waimea schools to remain closed and
shut down two sections of Kamehameha Highway, police and fire officials said.
Thousands of Waimea residents remained without water or with low water
pressure today after a rushing Waikoloa Stream washed out two 12-inch water
lines Sunday serving 6,000 Waimea homes and businesses.
County Water Manager Milton Pavao said the swollen stream ripped the pipes
off of their concrete pedestals, the first time in 30 years the stream has
caused that kind of damage. Civil Defense officials reopened Kamehameha
Avenue at about 4:15 p.m. yesterday, but an even busier stretch of Hawai'i
Belt Road remained closed.
County Civil Defense Administrator Troy Kindred said that highway was
closed at 11 a.m., and would remain closed until a huge pond of storm water
mauka of the highway drains down. Rushing water washed out the highway
embankment and a 48-inch drainage pipe near mile marker 11.7, forcing the
highway's closure, said Scott Ishikawa, spokesman for the state Department
of Transportation.
For the 24 hours ending at 8 a.m. yesterday, the National Weather Service
reported almost 11.6 inches of rainfall fell in Honoka'a; 8.9 inches on
Waiakea Uka in Hilo; and nearly 8 inches dropped on Mountain View in Upper
Puna.
The weather service said more than 7 inches of rain fell on Upper Waimea
during the same period, with Waimea gauges recording another 5 inches of
rain falling on portions of the town in the 24 hours ending at 8 a.m. Sunday."
