Jason Momoa Is Forced To Flee Hawaii Home Amid Island’s ‘Largest Flood in 20 Years’: ‘We’re Safe for Now’
"Aquaman" star Jason Momoa has revealed he was forced to evacuate his family's Hawaii home after a dangerous storm devastated the area with historic flooding.
The actor, 46, took to Instagram to announce that he and his family had fled O'ahu's North Shore after they lost power at their property.
"We’re safe for now but there’s a lot of people who weren’t, so sending all of our love," Momoa wrote, before sharing videos of the "crazy" damage that had been done to his father's dwelling by the historic floods—which are reported to be the worst Hawaii has experienced in 20 years.
"The North Shore is pretty gnarly right now. So hopefully everyone’s safe and getting out. Stay safe out there," he added.
In another post, Momoa shared footage of himself and his girlfriend, Adria Arjona, distributing meals and necessities to those had been most badly affected by the flooding, which saw 5,500 people placed under evacuation orders and 2,000 people without power, according to the Associated Press.


"These past weeks have been heavy. The storms, the flooding, the constant rain across Oʻahu have affected so many of our people especially those already facing hardship. Seeing families displaced, communities struggling, and our unhoused neighbors hit the hardest," Momoa wrote.
"We spent time on the west side, just trying to show love, bring some food, and remind our community that we see you, we stand with you, and you’re not alone."
He then urged his fellow Hawaiians to check in on their local communities and do what they can to support their neighbors.
"If you’re out there and able to help in any way no matter how big or small please do. Check in on your neighbors. Give what you can. Spread aloha," he concluded the post.
While no deaths have been reported as a result of the flooding, more than 200 people have been saved from the rising waters, and at least 10 people have been hospitalized with hypothermia.
Gov. Josh Green noted that the area was "still in this" on Saturday, adding that there was a "statewide flood watch" through the weekend after urging residents in Waialua and Hale'iwa to flee.
"Conditions remain dangerous because the ground is already saturated, meaning it will take much less rain to trigger flooding, road closures and damage," Green posted on X.
Green also noted that the damages could total to over $1 billion, adding that airports, roads, homes, and a Maui hospital have been destroyed.
The majority of Hawaii continued in a flood watch through Sunday afternoon.



Momoa, who was born in Hawaii, revealed that the weather also forced him to cancel a music event.
Parts of Maui have seen 46 inches of rain, while O'ahu saw over 20 inches.
Despite his impressive Hollywood profile, Momoa has long considered Hawaii to be his permanent home base, and he is understood to own at least two properties there: one on Kauai and another on O'ahu's North Shore.
In August, the actor opened up to Travel + Leisure about his close bond with his home, explaining that he never feels more comfortable than he does when he's in Hawaii.
“There's certain foods, there's the way the water feels for me, the way that the sand feels for me, the way the air smells, how my skin feels here—it's just a deep connection," he explained.
“It's where I'm from. It's where I was born. It's my culture. It's a wonderful thing to come home. This is where I'm rooted.”
He also urged visitors to the islands to get involved in the local community, explaining that he wants tourists to learn more about Hawaii's rich history and culture.
"We are America, and there's a lot of things that have happened to our culture," he said. "I think from an Indigenous point of view, a lot of things have happened, and we're really trying to have that identity, bring back a lot of our arts and our culture.
“I don't think a lot of people know that we were a kingdom and that we were royalty and that we had electricity in our palace before the White House did, that we had our own currency. This is American history, and I think a lot of people don't know that."
