Floodwaters forced Jason Momoa’s family to abandon their Hawaii home, prompting him to share a poignant update on the devastating floods that ravaged his home state. In an emotional Instagram post, Momoa shared that he and his family were staying near O’ahu’s North Shore when flash flooding struck, forcing them to evacuate after losing power.
“I got my family with me. We got out of the North Shore … our power went off,” shared the 46-year-old. “We’re safe for now, but there’s a lot of people who weren’t, so we’re sending all our love.”
“The North Shore is pretty gnarly right now. So hopefully everyone’s safe and getting out,” he added. “Stay safe out there.”

Divine protection for them,” echoed another. “Massive respect for riding that out. Nature is no joke. Stay strong, Jason!” read yet another supportive comment.
The O’ahu Department of Emergency Management had previously issued a warning urging residents to evacuate the area due to severe flooding. As of Saturday, March 21, officials confirmed that hundreds of people had been rescued from floodwaters on O’ahu, underscoring the gravity of the situation.
Governor Josh Green estimates that the storm’s damage could exceed $1 billion. He described the flooding as the worst the state has seen in more than 20 years, stating, “This is going to have a very serious consequence for us as a state,” during a news conference.
