increase the chances of flooding. The Kohala, Hamakua, Hilo and Puna
districts are the most susceptable to flooding, according to NWS officials.

Authorities closed Highway 270 in Kohala and Highway 19 in Hamakua, Civil
Defense officials said. Police are diverting motorists onto Saddle Road.
Radar showed heavy rains hitting those areas Monday morning. Gauges
indicate that rain fell at a rate of more than an inch an hour at about
7:30 a.m.
