Over the weekend, heavy rains fell on soil already saturated by downpours from a winter storm a week ago,
forcing thousands on the North Shore of Oahu to evacuate before more evacuations for parts of the island of Maui.
The rains lifted houses and cars, inundated farms, swept through grocery stores and left a thick layer of mud in streets, homes and ga…
