A ferocious storm has pounded Hawaii, forcing thousands to flee — including Aquaman star Jason Momoa, who posted a raw update after escaping rising floodwaters.

Quick update from the real world—turns out, playing Aquaman doesn't give you immunity from flash floods in Hawaii. Jason Momoa, known for saving the ocean on screen but apparently just as vulnerable to extreme weather as the rest of us, had to evacuate his own home after some major storms hit his home state.

Jason Momoa's Hawaii Nightmare

Here's the rundown: a severe storm tore through Hawaii recently, laying waste to neighborhoods and forcing thousands of locals out of their homes. Among them was Jason Momoa, who was staying with his family up on O'ahu's North Shore when the weather went from bad to biblical.

Power out, water rising, and apparently not a superhero cape in sight—Momoa packed up his family and got out of there. He posted a video on Instagram afterwards, looking relieved but worried about the bigger picture.

'I got my family with me. We got out of the North Shore... our power went off. We're safe for now, but there's a lot of people who weren't, so we're sending all our love... The North Shore is pretty gnarly right now. So hopefully everyone's safe and getting out. Stay safe out there.'

Big Numbers, Big Impact

This wasn't a minor inconvenience. Hawaii's O'ahu Department of Emergency Management actually put out formal evacuation orders for affected areas, and by the looks of it, people listened—hundreds had to be rescued from rising waters as of March 21.

Hawaii's Governor Josh Green didn't sugarcoat things either. He made it clear at a news conference that this is the worst flooding the state has seen in twenty years, estimating the damage could top a mind-boggling $1 billion. Just what Hawaii needed, right?

In his words, 'This is going to have a very serious consequence for us as a state.'

The Internet Reacts

Momoa's update quickly made the rounds on social media—TMZ re-shared his post, and naturally, fans and strangers alike flooded (no pun intended) the comments with concern and well-wishes. A few choice highlights:

  • 'Storms don't care who you are, that's the reality—hope everyone there stays safe, locals included.'
  • 'Hope they are safe now? Divine protection for them.'
  • 'Massive respect for riding that out. Nature is no joke. Stay strong, Jason!'

All told, a scary situation, no matter how famous you are. We'll keep an eye on the ongoing situation in Hawaii, but for now, Momoa and his family are safe. With any luck, cleanup and recovery start sooner rather than later.
