Actor Jason Momoa and his family were forced to flee their home on Oสปahuโs North Shore as Hawaii endured its most catastrophic flooding in 20 years.
ย
The disaster was fuelled by a Kona low, a powerful seasonal cyclone, that marked the second major storm to hit the islands in just one week.
ย
Authorities confirmed that rising floodwaters and the threat of dam failure forced evacuation orders for more than 5,000 residentsโ north of Honolulu over the weekend.
ย
Momoa shared an update through a now-expired Instagram Story, confirming his family’s safety while acknowledging the broader crisis.
ย
“I got my family with me. We got out of the North Shore,” he said, “Our power went off. We’re safe for now, but there’s a lot of people who weren’t, so we’re sending all our love,” he said.
ย
The actor emotionally described the situation as severe, adding, “The North Shore is pretty gnarly right now. So hopefully everyone’s safe and getting out. Stay safe out there.”

Hawaii Governor Josh Green stated that no deaths or missing persons had been reported despite the scale of the disaster. Over 200 people were rescued during the flooding, while fewer than a dozen individuals were treated for hypothermia in hospitals.
ย
Flood warnings remained in place across multiple islands, including O’ahu, Maui, Moloka’i, Lana’i, Kahoโolawe and the Big Island, even as evacuation orders were later lifted. Authorities also implemented state-wide road closures to manage the emergency response.
ย
In response to the situation, Momoa cancelled a scheduled public appearance at The Beach House by 604 in Waiโanae, citing safety concerns. He also indicated plans to support relief efforts, sharing that fundraising details would be announced soon and encouraging his followers to contribute.
ย
In a recent social media post, he also documented efforts to distribute food and supplies to affected residents, alongside his partner, actress Adria Arjona.
ย
Reflecting on the impact of the storms, Momoa highlighted the challenges faced by vulnerable communities.
ย
“Seeing families displaced, communities struggling, and our unhoused neighbours hit the hardest,” he said, urging people to support one another.
ย
“That’s what aloha is. It’s showing up for each other when it matters most,” he added in an earlier social media post.
