Honolulu (AP) --

A dam burst on the island of Kauai on Tuesday, and seven people were missing, the Coast Guard said.

Prayers for the victims

[Proud_USA_Republican]

The rain in hawaii has been non-stop for weeks now.

Prayers they are found alive and well.

[HEY4QDEMS]

They've had some crazy rain storms over the last few weeks.

I'm hoping against hope they are found OK.

Bush hates mokes.

[truth_seeker]

The mountain in the center of this island is the wettest place on God's spinning mudball.

How many milli-seconds passed before the media blamed Bush?

[COEXERJ145]

Give it time.

Something along the lines of "Bush probably ordered Rove to have Cheney contact Haliburton and have them blow up the dam."

[You Dirty Rats]

You got it all wrong!! Karl Rove, on orders from Bush, sold the weather control machine to the UAE.

[ClearCase_guy]

Just dam.

[leadpenny]

Anyone have a dam map?

[COEXERJ145]

LOL!!! That's a good one.

Does anyone know what part of Kauai it is? We were there last year .

First reports out of the Kilauea area on the North Shore of Kaua‘i early today indicate that an earthen dam gave way on Morita Reservoir near the 21 mile marker of Kuhio Highway.

Reports indicated a 50-foot wall of water laden with debris shortly after 5 a.m....

as many as five homes may have been washed away. One of them was occupied by seven people at the time.

There are two evacuation centers set up by the Red Cross. One is at Kula School on Kapuna Road at the 19 mile marker. The other is at Kilauea Neighborhood Center on Kahalou in Kilauea.

Bush's dam fault.

[Recovering_Democrat]

God help them! Prayers up!

[cmsgop]

Awful

Then we will have the likes of professional mirror gazer Kanye West saying "Bush hates Hawaiians". I just love the hypocrisy of guys like that. Last year my apt building burnt down and I lost everything mostly from the water from the firemen. I had no insurance and I lost everything including $25k in music studio equipment..The red cross set me up for a few days then I stayed with relatives until I found a new place. Where was the celebrity telethon for me? Does Kanye think this means that Bush hates all Jewish taxi drivers now? For three days the only thing I had on me was a pair of pants and socks. Why didn`t Bush immediately send me 1000`s of bucks? How dare he!

Where is FEMA.

Officials closed Kuhio Highway between Hanalei and Princeville early Tuesday morning.

Crews also closed the highway at Wailapa Road, east of Kilauea.

Kauai County Civil Defense says the nearby Waiakalua Reservoir overflowed mauka of the highway.
