The rain in hawaii has been non-stop for weeks now.
Prayers they are found alive and well.
Bush hates mokes.
The mountain in the center of this island is the wettest place on God's spinning mudball.
How many milli-seconds passed before the media blamed Bush?
Just dam.
Anyone have a dam map?
First reports out of the Kilauea area on the North Shore of Kaua‘i early today indicate that an earthen dam gave way on Morita Reservoir near the 21 mile marker of Kuhio Highway.
Reports indicated a 50-foot wall of water laden with debris shortly after 5 a.m....
as many as five homes may have been washed away. One of them was occupied by seven people at the time.
There are two evacuation centers set up by the Red Cross. One is at Kula School on Kapuna Road at the 19 mile marker. The other is at Kilauea Neighborhood Center on Kahalou in Kilauea.
God help them! Prayers up!
I live on the Big Island of Hawaii and the rain here has been intense as well. But thankfully nothing as bad as a dam bursting. I have friends on Kauai. I hope they are ok.
HONOLULU - A dam on the Hawaiian island of Kauai apparently failed Tuesday, sending torrents of water gushing from a reservoir to the Pacific Ocean, the Coast Guard said. Seven people were reported missing.
Coast Guard spokesman Michael De Nyse said the dam burst was reported around midmorning.
It has rained heavily across Kauai in the past few days.
A Coast Guard helicopter was on the scene looking for the missing people.
State Rep. Hermina Morita, whose district includes the area where the dam burst, said a constituent who had spent the night away from home returned and was searching for four family members.
She said the Kauai resident, whom she did not identify, told her the force of the water swept debris into the ocean about three miles away from the constituent's home.
There was no warning about the dam's strength or the amount of water in the reservoir behind it, Morita said.
"I think everybody was taken by surprise," she said.
Ray Lovell, a spokesman for state Civil Defense, said he could not provide details because his office was still learning about the incident.
Kauai is the westernmost of Hawaii's main islands.
They know nothing about its government. They only know that it's the place they want to go for their 50th wedding anniversary.....and if they should meet the territorial governor of the islands, Don Ho, so much the better.

3 Questions.
Does Dubai Ports World run the dam?
Was it Al Qaeda?
Was it Farakhans mystery barge?
Someone please connect the dots!!!!
Kidding--prayers for the missing (unless they are al Qaeda?)
My favorite of the Hawaiian Islands. Prayers up for the missing.
