Disney has a resort located in Hawaii — Aulani — on the island of Oahu that is also being impacted by this severe weather.

Governor David Ige posted a statement on Twitter Monday saying he signed the emergency declaration as a type of seasonal cyclone called “Kona low” brought heavy rains to the islands. He said they were expected to “continue to cause flooding and damage” across the state, according to NBC News. The state of emergency lasts until at least Friday, December 10th.

Power was knocked out for hundreds of customers as roads were flooded and trees were downed in the state. Homes were also flooded and roads were blocked due to mudslides, according to The Weather Channel.
