RE: First Day in the Office After Maui Vacation

I think the fact that you are asking about infrastructure is another testament to the failure of the news and Hawaii/Maui authorities to communicate the reality on the ground.

Infrastructure was restored pretty quickly, years ago, but people are still under impression that there are some issues with infrastructure. Media and authorities made it sound like a whole island burned down, but the reality is that it was just a small portion of a small historic downtown of a tiny town. And I am sorry about the people who died in the fire, but Maui sustained more economic and image damage from the negative PR that was the result of the Maui government actions in the wake of the fires...

There were some recent floods and one road in Kihei got damaged, but it is really nothing in the big picture of things. We traveled through Kihei a week after the floods and didn't even notice anything...
