On March 14, 2006, the Ka Loko Reservoir in Lihue, Hawaii on the Kauai island gave way around 5 a.m. after several days of tormenting rains and thunder. The resulting wave destroyed coastal highways, killed one person, and left seven others missing. The missing and dead count is expected to increase as searchers investigate the waters that flowed into the Pacific. Even though Kauai had received 5-6 inches of rain in the past day, most residents admitted that the island was not prepared for this situation. Although oil was spilled into the water, there has been no sighting of significant damage.
