State of emergency as Hurricane Lane triggers flooding across Hawaii

Rivers have over spilled causing flash floods across Hawaii islands as Hurricane Lane brought strong downpours on Thursday.

Footage shows angry torrents of Wailuku River as it flew down to Hilo Bay on East side of Big Island.

More than 30 centimeters (12 inches) of rain has already fallen on the eastern side of the Island and while Hurricane Lane has substantially weakened, its winds are still packing 209 kilometers (130 miles) per hour.
