3 rescued, dog lost during Kauai flash flood warning
First responders on Kauai conducted multiple vehicle rescues in the Lawai area during Wednesday’s heavy rains and flash flood warning, according to county officials.
The first incident was reported shortly after 1:35 p.m., when two females in a vehicle were stuck on a flooded portion of Lawai Road near the National Tropical Botanical Garden. Responders observed water elevated 2.5 feet above the roadway, disabling the car, officials reported.
Firefighters were able to help the two women get out of the vehicle and to higher ground. No injuries were reported, and Lawai Road near NTBG was closed until water levels receded.
