Over the past several days, heavy rainfall has caused the islands of Hawai’i to experience their worst flooding in two decades, per the Associated Press. According to the outlet, no deaths have been reported, but over 230 people have been rescued so far.

Shortly before the floods began, Kamohai and Tristyn celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary by posting sweet tributes to each other via Instagram. “And just like that in a blink of the eye we make 10 years married! Happy freaking anniversary to us my love,” Kamohai wrote on March 5. “I cannot believe how fast time is flying by but today I intentionally look back at what we have created and know that I would not have been able to do it without you. … Here is to a lifetime of experiences with you.”
Tristyn, for her part, posted, “One decade down… and here’s to the rest of our lifetime creating experiences together! You are my best friend, my soulmate, and my better half. I fall in love with you over and over again. You are who God made for me, my perfect match and my divine partner, I thank our savior for you each and everyday and the life He continues to bless us with. Thank you for leading our family, for taking care of us and being our steadfast rock we can always count on. Can’t wait for the next 10.❤️♾️✝️.”
