Dec. 18--The American Red Cross is assisting 13 people after their home collapsed off its foundation overnight.
Honolulu Fire Department spokesman Capt. Gary Lum said the home was built on wooden posts about three feet off the ground. Firefighters at the scene said termite damage may have contributed to the collapse of the posts.
The Red Cross said high winds may have blown the home off the posts.
No serious injuries were reported after the 1:30 a.m. collapse of the house at 86-424 Puhawai Road in Waianae.
The Red Cross is helping the displaced families find temporary shelter, Lum said.
