Great Job Handling the Rock Slide

Sometimes stuff happens that we have no control over.

The Waimea Rock Slide of 2007 is a perfect example, as was the Big Island Earthquake of 2006. It is the reaction of people/government and other entities that we remember in the aftermath.

I have to give major congratulations to those who handled the Rock Slide. Signs were put up early. The Police and Civil Defense helped give good answers. The radio, newspapers and websites gave good information about when the road would be closed, open, partially open etc.

Heavy equipment was on site by mid Saturday morning and people were working. They worked on Sunday and the road has been partially reopened ahead of schedule.

Thanks to all who worked so hard and well in getting the road open. Thank you to those invisible bureaucrats who made good decisions and let the road be opened quickly. You really helped us out here on the North Shore by exercising good sense.

Let's give credit when it is due.

Good job government. You should all be proud of how you handled things. Citizens of the North Shore, we did well. We helped each other out, no one got hurt, we got by.
