This PT Cruiser knocked over a fire hydrant a little past midnight early yesterday morning, and the force of the water lifted the rear part of the car off the ground. We heard a crashing sound outside my apartment, and peeked outside to hear the sound of rushing water and the sight of the car above the geyser. It took Honolulu Fire Department and Board of Water Supply crews about a half-hour to shut the water down, while hundreds of gallons of water flowed down Ward Avenue and Prospect Street. We're not sure what happened to the driver or occupants, but I'm sure the car got soaked inside too.

This is a really crazy picture. Never saw this before. I thought this happens only in movies ;)

That is amazing! They should have published your photo in the newspaper. It's incredible that the force of the water can lift a car like that. You certainly were in the right place at the right time to take that photo!
Holy cow - what a capture! Hopefully no one was hurt.
I still can't believe this! All the water gushing down Ward Avenue! And the car...remember I thought it was actually on top of the fire hydrant! It was actually the force of the water that kept the car suspended in the air! Great shot!
