The highway closure then blocked off the town of Hanalei from the rest of the island.<\/p>\n<p>This came just days after heavy rain caused a major landslide and forced several residents to evacuate over severe flooding.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2386491\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2386491\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2386491 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/fb_image-731.jpeg\" alt=\"A mudslide leaves Kamehameha Highway coated near Pokole Point on Tuesday, March 9, 2021, near Kahaluu, Hawaii.
