I am only about 4 miles from the reservoir that was breeched. And there is another reservoir that drains into the Kalihiwai River that is structurally unsound, and has been since the Corp of Engineers assessed it after Iniki. If that one goes, there will be another disaster. Reportedly, the 60 ft high Kuhio Highway bridge over the Kalihiwai River has experienced some scouring around the foundations. As a structural engineer, this is normally accounted for by deep drilled concrete piers into bedrock. But this is the 3rd world corrupt state of Hawaii where half-assed is deemed OK, so who knows.
Keep us informed,take care
