Roughly 20 Kauai residents took shelter at Kapaa Middle School after a night of torrential rain.
Kauai was under a flash flood warning since the early hours Saturday.
Residents woke to severe flooding around the island. Debris clogged the mouth of the Wailua river on Kauai's east side as crews briefly shut down Kuhio Highway in the area. It has since reopened, but other routes remain closed.
Those that remain shut down include the Hanalei Bridge and the southern end of the Kapaa Bypass Road.
The residents in the American Red Cross shelter were evacuated by first responders from their Wailua homes after flooding posed a threat to their property and safety.
