Due to current weather conditions many intersections in Kahului are flooding.  Hāna/Hanakai, Hāna/Papa, Lalo/Alamaha, Main/Kaʻahumanu, Wākea/S Kamehameha, Hansen/Pūlehu.

County and state crews will be putting up signage.  Maui police report that no intersections have been closed yet.

Motorists on Hansen Road in Kahului this morning were also reporting flooding with deep water along portions of the road.

The NWS reminds the public to stay away from streams, drainage ditches and low-lying areas prone to flooding. Rainfall and runoff will also cause hazardous driving conditions due to ponding, reduced visibility and poor braking action.
