#dam overflow

Record heavy rainfall on Maui last week caused a dam to overflow and destroy fencing for acres of habitat in the lower reaches of Leilani Farm Sanctuary, an all-volunteer, non-profit facility for rescued animals in Hāʻiku.

The Nuʻuanu Dam #1 on Oʻahu is about a 1.5 feet below the spillway due to the amount of rain brought on by former Tropical Storm Olivia. Approximately 10,000 residents would be affected if evacuations are deemed necessary.
