#brown water runoff

UPDATE: One lane of alternating traffic open on Kūhiō Highway near Hanalei River Bridge

Kaua‘i Emergency Management Agency reported the update just before 6 p.m. after the roadway was inundated by flood waters for much of the day as heavy rainfall pounded northern and central parts of the island.

Update: Brown water advisory canceled for Hanalei Bay

The advisory was issued following heavy rainfall triggered by an upper level trough that especially threatened windward areas of Kaua‘i, Ni‘ihau and other parts of the state with flash flooding, rapid runoff and overflowing streams.
