Kauai bridge, road closed by flooding

Kauai police closed the Hanalei bridge today after heavy rain overnight caused flooding.
Similar flooding conditions were reported on the south side of the island, where police also closed Omao Road. Henry Lau, National Weather Service forecaster, said the rainfall was caused by “a lot of low-level moisture” coupled with “an enhanced upper level disturbance.”
Between 2 to 5 a.m. 2.6 inches of rain fell on Mount Waialeale with .63 inches recorded at Hanalei and 1.73 inches at Kalaheo.
Kauai remained under a flash flood watch until noon today.
