瓦胡岛居民梅兰妮·李（Melanie Lee）在周一首次看到自己房屋的残骸。这场夏威夷20年来最严重的洪水，将这座岛屿翠绿的社区部分地区变成了泥浆。
“我们在这里住了将近20年。我失去了……我们失去了一切，”李告诉CBS新闻，“我孩子的照片，都是些真正有纪念意义的东西。现在，我们接下来该去哪里？”
夏威夷州长乔希·格林（Josh Green）表示，夏威夷刚刚开始从过去一周里两场大规模风暴的影响中恢复。这两场风暴在瓦胡岛和毛伊岛部分地区降下了高达4英尺的降雨量。
最新的风暴促使檀香山北部发布了疏散令，官员称已有超过200人获救。在瓦胡岛北部，国民警卫队成员在齐腰深的水中跋涉，帮助受困的司机和被泥浆困住的房主。周末期间，超过2000人断电。

毛伊岛也遭受了重创。风暴冲毁河床，吹垮桥梁和道路，并吞噬了车辆。
格林表示，官员们尚未完全评估破坏情况，但这场风暴的损失可能超过10亿美元，包括对机场、学校、道路、人们的房屋以及毛伊岛库拉（Kula）的一家医院的损坏。
“这将给我们这个州带来非常严重的后果，”州长在新闻发布会上说。他还表示，他的幕僚长已与白宫进行沟通，并得到了联邦政府支持的保证。
出生于檀香山的演员杰森·莫玛（Jason Momoa）也是流离失所者之一。这位《海王》演员在Instagram上发布的一段视频中说，他和家人离开了北岸，那里已经停电。
“我们现在安全了，但还有很多人没有，所以我们向他们致以所有的爱，”莫玛说。

北岸商会副主席卡罗尔·菲利普斯（Carol Philips）描述了一栋曾有八人居住的房屋“已经消失无踪”。
虽然风暴和洪水期间无人死亡，且最严重的风暴已经过去，但这次破坏和恢复工作在经济和情感上都代价高昂。
在毛伊岛的社区在两年前野火导致102人死亡后仍在重建家园和生活之际，此次洪水又增添了新的伤痛。
“我们知道，对很多人来说，火灾是一回事，现在又遭遇洪水，在某些情况下他们刚刚搬进去的家……这会让人感到难以承受，”代表瓦胡岛部分地区的美国众议员吉尔·登田（Jill Tokuda）说。
Worst Hawaii flooding in 20 years leaves some homes in mud as recovery begins: “We lost everything”

O’ahu resident Melanie Lee saw what’s left of her house for the first time on Monday after the worst flooding Hawaii has seen in two decades turned parts of the islands’ emerald communities into mud.
“We’ve been here almost 20 years. I lost … We lost everything,” Lee told CBS News. “My children’s pictures. Just real sentimental stuff. Now it’s like, now where we go from here?”
Hawaii is just beginning the recovery from a pair of massive storms that unleashed up to 4 feet of rain in parts of O’ahu and Maui over the past week, Gov. Josh Green said.
The latest storm prompted evacuation orders north of Honolulu, where officials said more than 200 people were rescued. In northern O’ahu, members of the National Guard trudged through waist-deep water to help stranded drivers and mudbound homeowners. More than 2,000 people were without power over the weekend.

The island of Maui was also hit hard. The storm blasted down riverbeds, blew out bridges and roads and swallowed vehicles.
Officials haven’t been able to assess the destruction fully but the cost of the storm could top $1 billion, including damage to airports, schools, roads, people’s homes and a Maui hospital in Kula, Green said.
“This is going to have a very serious consequence for us as a state,” the governor said during a news conference. He also said his chief of staff spoke to the White House and received assurances of federal support.
Among those displaced is Honolulu-born actor Jason Momoa. In a video posted to Instagram, the “Aquaman” actor said he and his family left the North Shore and the power had gone out.
“We’re safe now, but there’s a lot of people who weren’t, so sending all our love,” Momoa said.

Carol Philips, the vice president of North Shore Chamber of Commerce, described one house where eight people were living as just “gone.”
While no one was killed in the storms and flooding, and the worst of the storms has passed, the damage and recovery are both financially and emotionally costly.
As the communities in Maui continue to rebuild their homes and their lives two years after the wildfires killed 102 people, the flooding added to the sorrow.
“We know for so many people the fires are one thing, and now to have flooding and in some cases their homes that they had just moved into … It can feel overwhelming,” said U.S. Rep. Jill Tokuda, who represents parts of O’ahu.
