About
Oahu is a major island in Hawaii, USA. Recent news articles highlight severe flooding on the island due to heavy rains, with thousands of residents evacuated and widespread damage reported. A former US Air Force master sergeant pleaded guilty to defrauding the military out of $37m unrelated to Oahu's flooding. Meanwhile, a doctor's son testified that his father confessed to trying to kill his wife after an affair claim. The worst flooding in decades has caused significant damage, with estimated costs over $1bn and thousands displaced. Authorities urge residents to evacuate hard-hit areas due to risk of road failures and further flooding.
