Power and water are fine. I'm not really worried, but I was just told by a guy who has been here that the Kalihiwai River bridge was constructed back in the 60's using beach sand in the concrete. The beach sand has some residual sea salt in it, which would contribute greatly to the corrosion of the reinforcing steel in the bridge. Not only that, but following Hurricane Ewa in 1982, the foundations of the bridge had to be underpinned. If the bridge goes down, the North Shore of Kauai will be effectively isolated. I just sent my wife to the grocery store in Princeville, so as long as my computer works, I don't care. As for drinking water, the skies will provide - we get from 85 to 150 inches of rain a year.
Are the bridges from Princeville to Hanalei to Haena...closed ?
