Jason Momoa and his family were forced to evacuate their home as severe storms battered Oʻahu, causing flooding and widespread disruption.

The actor, 46, shared updates on Instagram as heavy rain and flooding affected large parts of the island, including the North Shore where he lives.

According to USA Today, thousands of residents were evacuated on 20 March after concerns a dam could fail, with authorities warning roads were at risk of “imminent failure”.

Speaking in a video shared on Instagram, Jason said: “We’re safe for now, but there’s a lot of people who weren’t, so, sending all our love.”

He added: “North Shore’s pretty gnarly right now, so just love, and hopefully everyone’s safe and getting out and get together and figure out how we help everyone… stay safe out there.”

Oʻahu is the third-largest and most populated island of the Hawaiian Islands

Josh Green, the governor of Hawaii, said around 5,500 people were moved to safety as the area was “bombarded” with heavy rain.

While no deaths were reported, he said there had been “a few serious injuries”.
