災害 · Wailua River riseKauai flash flood: South Fork Wailua rises rapidly as warning is extended文字 2026年11月1日 上午4:24 [UTC]觀看逐字稿0:07The South Fork Walua River rose rapidly, adding a downstream flood threat.0:10Heavy rain is feeding the river, and people near its mouth face the risk of0:14flooding.0:15Whether that rise has flooded roads or homes downstream is still unresolved.0:18We reported the threatened Hanalay crossing earlier on October30, first at about one0:23twenty-five in the afternoon.0:24That report described a rising river and expected flooding near the bridge.0:28The fresh development is the rise along the South Fork Walua.0:31The warning covers the entire island of Kauai.0:34Within that broad alert, the South Fork Observation adds a specific concern for the0:38Wailua River system.0:39The South Fork feeds the Walua River, which reaches the coast on eastern Kauai.0:43The concern downstream is the area near the river mouth, where the earlier warning0:47identified a potential flood impact as heavy rain continued.0:50Rain was falling over eastern Kauai at one to three inches an hour in the early0:53afternoon update.0:55Later, the warning described one to two inches an hour.0:58Those figures describe how hard it was raining at different times, rather than the1:01storm's total rainfall.1:03The South Fork's rapid rise was described as an observation.1:06The National Weather Service included it in the afternoon warning extension,1:09alongside heavy rain over eastern Kauai at one to two inches an hour.1:13That put the river itself at the center of the concern.1:16By late afternoon, the Weather Service described the South Fork gauge as elevated1:20and expected further rises as heavy rain continued.1:23An elevated gauge tells people the river is high, but a numerical reading would be1:27needed to describe its height or compare it with a flood threshold.1:30The warning's scheduled endpoint moved from two forty-five to five forty-five in the1:34afternoon.1:34The extension answers whether the warning continued beyond its earlier window.1:38Five forty five became the next scheduled checkpoint for an update on the flood1:42threat.1:42The late afternoon update kept that five forty-five endpoint.1:46Our cutoff was about four thirty-five before the scheduled expiration.1:50A later extension or cancellation would change that schedule, so the time alone1:53can't tell residents when conditions became safe.1:56Water near the Wailua River mouth is the unresolved consequence of the upstream2:00rise.2:00The warning identified a threat there, but nobody has confirmed whether flood water2:04reached roads or homes near the mouth by our late afternoon cutoff.2:08The warning also said Kuyo Highway was closed near Hanalei Bridge.2:11That crossing is on a different river.2:13A closure there doesn't tell drivers whether roads near the Wailuwa mouth are2:16flooded or passable.2:18The South Fork rose rapidly, and the later warning described an elevated gauge.2:22The downstream threat remains serious enough to warn about.2:25But the river's rise still hadn't been tied to a confirmed flood impact at the2:28Waylua mouth.2:29The South Fork has a monitoring station near Leehu.2:32No numerical river height for October30.2:35First is available here to show how far it rose.2:37The warning's description of further expected rises remains the practical concern2:41while heavy rain continues.2:43A flash flood warning means flooding is happening or could begin shortly in streams,2:47roads, and low-lying areas.2:48Conditions can differ from one location to another.2:51Don't cross fast, flowing or rising water on foot or in a vehicle.閱讀文章事件時間軸HeyDex誰報導了什麼多家媒體報導的要點✓Flash flood warning issuance for Kauai已獨立證實 · 2 家媒體Expected flooding locations2 家媒體Observed rapid river gauge rises2 家媒體✓Reported rainfall rates已獨立證實 · 2 家媒體僅一家媒體報導的要點7僅Kauai Now報導Heavy rain over eastern Kauai moving leeward10月31日 下午10:18 UTC僅National Weather Service報導Kuhio Highway closure near Hanalei Bridge10月31日 下午11:20 UTCContinued Hanalei River flooding11月1日 上午6:34 UTCWarning expiration and extension11月1日 上午2:24 UTCRiver gauge levels and expected rises11月1日 上午2:24 UTCHeavy rain ended while flooding continued11月1日 上午6:34 UTCAdvice to avoid flooded roads11月1日 上午6:34 UTC每一行都是我們從該媒體報導中記錄的說法。比較截至 2026年11月1日 下午1:57 [UTC]。
