Hawaii officials urged evacuations after the state experienced its worst flooding in over 20 years, caused by heavy rains on already saturated ground. Floodwaters covered large areas of Oahu’s North Shore, lifting homes and cars and forcing about 5,500 people to evacuate, though orders were later lifted. Officials also warned that a 120-year-old dam could potentially fail. On Maui, evacuation alerts were raised to warnings in parts of Lahaina due to nearly full retention basins following prior wildfire damage.

As the 2026 government shutdown continues, its impact is growing at airports across the country. TSA workers, who are not being paid, are starting to miss shifts, leaving fewer agents to manage security checkpoints. This has led to much longer lines, with some travelers waiting an hour or more to get through TSA. The delays are causing people to miss boarding times, and flights are starting to leave late as a result. At the same time, flights are becoming more expensive. With delays and fewer available staff, airlines are adjusting schedules and offering fewer flights. When fewer seats are available, prices go up, especially during busy travel times. For continued coverage, tune in to WHOV-TV this Thursday at 7 PM on Channel 85-2 and on Instagram Live. #whovtv #hamptonuniversity #news #journalism #government
