Jason Momoa shares an update after fleeing catastrophic Hawaii floods: ‘We’re safe for now’

OAHU, HAWAII: Jason Momoa shared an update about his whereabouts after powerful storms triggered massive flooding across Hawaii, forcing evacuations and leaving widespread damage in their wake.

The actor revealed on Friday that he and his family had to leave their home on Oahu’s North Shore after losing power, as heavy rain and rising waters overwhelmed the area.

Momoa took to Instagram to reassure fans while also acknowledging the scale of the disaster unfolding around him.

“We’re safe for now but there’s a lot of people who weren’t, so sending all of our love,” he said in a somber video shared on his Instagram Stories.

The situation, he explained, was rapidly deteriorating across parts of the island.

“We’re just all… the North Shore is pretty gnarly right now, so just love and hopefully everyone’s safe and getting out. We’ll get together to figure out how we’re going to help everyone. All my love, and stay safe out there,” he added.

Storm forces Momoa to cancel planned event

As conditions worsened, Momoa also made the call to cancel a planned event with his rock band to prioritize safety.

In a separate update, he explained that the group, Oof Tatata, would no longer go ahead with a scheduled fundraising performance.

“So, unfortunately, we’re gonna cancel and maybe we’ll do something online, just to send out some music to people,” he said.

The decision, he noted, was made with one goal in mind.

“That’s where we’re at right now, and just to make sure everybody’s safe, and it’s the most important thing right now.”

The actor also shared footage showing intense surf conditions near his father’s home, highlighting just how severe the storm had become.

Thousands evacuated as dam fears trigger emergency response

Authorities moved quickly as the situation escalated, ordering large-scale evacuations in vulnerable areas.

More than 5,000 residents were told to leave regions downstream of the Wahiawa Dam, which officials described as being “at risk of imminent failure.”

In less than 24 hours, water levels at the dam surged from 79 feet to 84 feet, dangerously close to its maximum capacity.

The rapid rise added urgency to evacuation efforts as emergency crews worked around the clock.

At least 230 people were rescued as torrential rain battered Oahu, turning roads into rivers and flooding homes, streets, and vehicles.

The impact of the storm is expected to be severe, with authorities warning that damages could exceed $1 billion.

Around 10 people have been hospitalized with hypothermia, though no deaths have been reported so far.

Officials continue to monitor the situation closely, while the National Weather Service has issued a flood watch covering all of Hawaii through Sunday.
