Huge waves disrupt wedding celebration in Hawaii; watch viral video
In a scary incident coming in from Hawaii, huge waves crashed into a wedding function on Saturday. A footage of the incident doing the rounds on the internet displayed the gushing water overturning tables and chairs at the Hulihe’s Palace in Kailua-Kona.
Not just the wedding, the waves crashed into houses and over two-story condos in Hawaii's Keauhou-Kona. A video of the same was recorded by Isabella Sloan.
Watch video below:
The couple’s, identified as Dillon and Riley Murphy, dream wedding in Kailua-Kona was thrown into disarray after massive waves hit the wedding venue and even overturned the tables and chairs. The video displays the water gushing over the lawns while the guests gasped and ran to save themselves.
“We were kind of right at the moment where we were going to start moving a couple things and, yeah, this big wall basically just showed up,” Dillon told KHON2. “And luckily there was no food in any of the containers and the cake luckily also made it," he added.
Another foottage displayed huge waves crashing over a two-storey building in Hawaii’s Keauhou-Kona. The water literally jumped over the condo and onto the road where it gathered and swamped everything on its tracks.
Isabella Sloan told Hawaii News Now that her condo “was hit for the first time and flooded everything.”
Furthermore, officials last week predicted a “historic” rise that would result in massive waves on Hawaii’s south-facing shores.
In a post on Facebook, The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources established that a 25-foot wave was reported by the department’s Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement.
“The highest south shore surf in more than 25 years delivered as predicted,” reads the caption.
