A photo of Makua Valley, a sacred Native Hawaiian site known as the birthplace of humanity and where ancestral spirits depart, was among the most affected areas, with most roadways damaged by the storm in spring 2026 taken on July 7, 2026, at Makua Valley, Hawaii. Today, the valley is identified as containing at least 120 cultural sites and houses, at least 44 endangered species, including 42 native plants and one species of Kahuli tree snail and the O’ahu ‘Eleaio, a flycatcher bird.
