Jason Momoa and his family have left their lifelong home of Oahu, as another severe storm rages on in Hawaii. "I've got my family with me. We got out of the North Shore... our power went off... We're safe for now, but there are still many who aren't. We're sending all our love," Momoa shared in a now-expired Instagram story, as reported by PEOPLE. "The North Shore is pretty gnarly right now. So hopefully everyone's safe and getting out... Stay safe out there."
The mid-Pacific archipelago has been battered by an unrelenting weather system for two weeks, causing some of the worst damage and flooding in decades. As a second intense storm descended on Oahu's North Shore, the Aquaman star, who was born, raised, and has lived most of his life on the island, was forced to evacuate, he shared on Saturday.
Momoa also shared several other posts informing his nearly 17 million Instagram followers of the damage and ways they can help impacted locals. The actor also posted a video Saturday that showed him and his girlfriend, Adria Arjona, helping to deliver food prepared by the Hawaiian diner chain Zippy's to those who have lost their homes and have otherwise evacuated.
"Aloha everyone, These past weeks have been heavy," he wrote in the caption. "The storms, the flooding, the constant rain across O'ahu have affected so many of our people, especially those already facing hardship. Seeing families displaced, communities struggling, and our unhoused neighbors hit the hardest."
In other photos and videos shared to his stories and grid alike, Momoa provided views of roads destroyed by storm surges, driftwood and wreckage strewn across an Oahu beach, and efforts to put together fundraisers.
Momaoa was born in Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii and the state's most populous city. Mayor Rick Blangiardi and other Honolulu officials issued evacuation orders for roughly 5,500 people late last week, drawing particular attention to a 120-year-old dam in Honolulu that is under threat of failing, per AP. In addition to the thousands evacuated, over 230 people have been rescued as Oahu faces what could surpass $1 billion in damage from the storms.
Momaoa also advocated for the state and its embattled denizens back in 2023 when rampant wildfires laid waste to the island of Maui. "We are devastated and heartbroken for our friends and 'ohana on Maui who [have] been impacted by the recent wildfires," he wrote on Instagram at the time, urging his followers to donate to the relief effort.
