And just this morning I put award tickets on hold for January to Lihue. <sigh> People will be recovering from this for awhile.

Was at Pono Kai over Christmas holidays. I guess that rain is why the island is always so green and beautiful. Mother Nature doing her 'job'.

Is this flooding specific to the North or is the South also affected? How's the Poipu area?

HVC: The Point at Poipu, 3 deeded weeks, 1 of which is in The Club.
When we left Poipu on Saturday, the Poipu Beach parking lot was still under water, and they were trying to pump it out. The Poipu bypass road was closed temporarily, but Poipu didn't get anything as bad as the north coast.

Wow. That is my favorite island. I guess it will be a while before the island can recover. It's a shame. My Sis-in-law owns at the Point at Poipu. I wonder how it fared. They already have a huge SA there.:ponder:

Only the first few pics from this site "might" be current...check out the dates

Check out the dates on the bottom of the photos from No. 9 onward...they are not current!

A much better site to use is the newspaper...the photos are current and there are videos posted there as well.

Here are a few that are also current.

Waipā Facilities Manager Kalen Kelekoma had to use alternate transportation during the last few days to check on the animals and the rest of our farm operations at Waipā. Several roads remained closed on Tuesday which meant our weekly farmer’s market didn’t happen.

Kauai Flooding

I read in the newspaper that Hanalei got over 30 inches of rain during this storm! Part of Kuhio Highway was closed by Kilauea, Kapaa had heavy flooding, and, as often happens the bridge to Hanalei was closed. Rock slides onto the highway at different places were cited, too. Several schools in the area were closed, too. Really a tough time for them!

Rain on Kaua'i

Poipu is pretty much back to normal.

They are pumping out the parking lot next to the Marriott on Po'ipu.

We heard this morning that all roads were open on the north side, but that is just what we heard.

They are telling folks not to go into the brown water, because what might have washed down the streams. With the junk the sharks move in.:eek:

There was a raw sewage spill by Lydgate and that area is still closed.

The north side got more rain last night. There was a storm that was supposed to hit Po'ipu, but it went north and then onto O'ahu and Maui. The last two days have been really nice. Last night we had the full moon reflecting off the (calm) waters.:whoopie:

Cheers,

Paul

Kauai is recovering fast - no worry!

Hi Folks,
I live on Kauai (Princeville which is North Shore) and just discovered this forum. I'm a realtor and own a vacation rental so was checking out the Timeshare Forum and saw your Hanalei flood thread. Yeah, it was bad and there's still a lot of clean up to do in Hanalei and elsewhere. But nothing that will impact tourists much now that it's over. We're still getting assessments of storm damage at various properties across the island. Poipu, Kapaa and Hanalei all have some problems but it's mainly the road damage that's getting the news coverage. Big pukas (sink holes) on the Kapaa Bypass road and Kuhio Hwy in Kilauea, plus other areas of erosion that require detours. I've talked to several condo property managers and some of them report roof leaks, a few incidents of minor ground-floor flooding, and more incidents of flooding in parking areas. Contact your property manager for details about your property. From my limited phone survey I think few if any properties sustained damage that will be a significant impact on occupancy or your vacation plans. We islanders know how to pull together, and this beautiful island is already almost 100% functional just 2 days after the deluge. We would like some weeks of sunshine though. I was starting to turn into a mushroom after 25 days of rain, rain, rain!

Wow, this is unreal. We just visited Kee beach for the first time 2 weeks ago.
It was packed with people and cars being the end of the road. This is really
sad to see and hopefully it can be put back together.

We are scheduled to arrive on Kauai on April 8. Any reports of damage at Kauai Lagoons? Should we be concerned about damage on the island in general? It would be really disappointing to have to cancel at this late date...

The news reports I have read indicate the worst damage is on the north side of the island near the picturesque town of Hanalei.

I suspect your trip will be fine, except perhaps you will need to stay away from Hanalei and points north.

Hoping some tuggers can report first-hand about the conditions at Kauai Beach Club and Waiohai.

As many will remember, Kauai Beach Club sustained considerable flood damage several years ago (sink hole, parking lot washed-out, cars swallowed-up, etc). A major infrastructure repair followed (with associated maintenance fee special assessments - very expensive). Hopefully those repairs did the trick and avoided any damage to the resort this time around.

Resorts damaged by flooding?

Having heard all the news about flooding in the islands, we are wondering about the Marriott timeshares on Oahu and Kauai. Any tuggers currently there who can give us an update on conditions at the resorts? It appears that Maui escaped the worst of the weather conditions, but we would appreciate any news on the resort there as well. Thanks!

I'd suggest calling the resort front desk for a status.
