Emergency workers rescued five people from a flooded house on Hawaii’s Big Island as Hurricane Lane dumped heavy rains on the island.
Hawaii County Managing Director Wil Okabe says water gushed into the Hilo home Thursday after a nearby gulch overflowed.
He says they were not injured and were taken to a shelter.
Okabe says the county used a helicopter to rescue two campers who were trapped overnight in Waipio Valley.
The campers were not injured.
