“Now is the time to make sure you have an emergency plan in place," Hawaii Gov. David Ige said on Sunday as Hawaii County's mayor declared a state of emergency.
It warned that that the storm could bring"widespread heavy rainfall...capable of producing catastrophic flooding, and strong southwest winds." Meanwhile, a flash flood warning was extended for Maui, where video posted to social media on Sunday night showed heavy rains. "This storm has the potential to cause major flooding, landslides, road closures and damage to homes," Ige warned."Now is the time to make sure you have an emergency plan in place and supplies ready should you need to move away from rising water."
