"Hawaii Islands Bracing for Severe Rain and Flash Flooding"
Oahu is bracing for heavy rains as a cold front from the northwest is expected to bring about two to three inches of rain in several areas, with storms progressing into Monday. The Department of Emergency Management is on standby, particularly monitoring areas that don't handle runoff well. Hawaiian Electric is working to restore power to about 12,000 customers in East Oahu, and the National Weather Service notes that this rainy season has been wetter than usual, advising communities to prioritize safety and allow extra time for morning commutes.
