Jason Momoa among thousands forced to evacuate as historic flooding hits Hawaii

Jason Momoa has revealed he was forced to flee his home alongside thousands of residents after severe storms triggered dangerous flooding across parts of Hawaii.

The Hollywood star shared on Instagram that he and his family, including girlfriend Adria Arjoni, evacuated from O’ahu’s North Shore after their home lost power amid torrential rain and rapidly rising waters. “We’re safe now but there’s a lot of people who weren’t, so sending all our love,” he told followers.

The extreme weather has led to what officials describe as the worst flooding the islands have experienced in more than two decades. Authorities ordered mass evacuations near the Wahiawa dam, warning the 120-year-old structure faced a risk of “imminent failure” as water levels surged dramatically in less than 24 hours.

Up to 12 inches of rain fell in some areas, causing life-threatening conditions in communities including Haleiwa and Waialua. Emergency services placed more than 130 residents in evacuation shelters overnight as the situation continued to unfold.

Jason, who was born in Honolulu, also shared footage of flood damage near his father’s home, describing the scenes as “crazy” and urging locals to prioritise safety. The actor said the dangerous conditions forced him to cancel a planned music event for the weekend.

In a heartfelt message posted earlier, he reflected on the toll the relentless storms have taken on his home state. “These past weeks have been heavy,” he wrote. “The storms, the flooding, the constant rain across O’ahu have affected so many of our people, especially those already facing hardship.”

He added that he and friends had spent time delivering food and support to struggling communities. “Seeing families displaced, communities struggling, and our unhoused neighbors hit the hardest… We just wanted to show love and remind people they’re not alone. That’s what aloha is – showing up for each other when it matters most.”

All of Hawaii remains under a flood watch through Sunday, according to the National Weather Service, with officials warning that damage to infrastructure, homes and transport networks could exceed $1 billion.

Jason urged locals to check in on one another and help where possible. “If you’re able to help in any way, no matter how big or small, please do,” he said. “Spread aloha.”
