As many of you know, the north shore of Oahu recently suffered devastating flooding. My home and car both flooded and aren’t salvageable, I was living off grid on a small ranch on leased property so was on solar and would bring in my own water. My dog woke me up barking at 12:45 am, water was coming in my house already and was waist high outside. My dog and I basically swam to my car and tried to evacuate, but HPD said both roads out of north shore were closed due to flooding. I was forced to go back into the flooded areas to seek shelter at a friend’s place that was higher up, but on the way my SUV got stuck in the flood so my dog and I got out and I waded/swam to my friend, who came as far as she could with her truck. We finally were able to evacuate the area. I went back to my home only to discover everything destroyed and completely unsalvageable, including the structure itself. My car was also a total loss. If anyone can donate, anything helps but please don’t feel obligated. I know it’s been tough for everyone. Thankfully my horses, sheep and goat made it but a lot of their feed got wet too. Mahalo in advance! Edit: It has been amazing how many of you have already stepped up and donated, thank you from the bottom of my heart <3
