The nearest siren to the folks living on the ocean on Kaloli Point is on Kaloli and 4th. Maybe look at a map to see how far away that is. The ocean itself always has some background noise and usually the winds blow off the ocean, so sound is harder to hear when the ocean is loud and the wind is blowing the siren sound from 4th and Kaloli away from you. We are about a mile and a half from the nearest siren. It does seem that a siren should be placed closer to the Kaloli Point area since lots of folks use the cliff paths there.
Those of you in Orchidland and Keaau who heard sirens, that is fantastic. I am glad they are heard there. My point is that on the ocean nearby Kaloli Point right where the most damage will happen you can not hear the siren. Check a map, this is pretty far from the nearest siren. It is not acceptable for residents on Kaloli Point to have the nearest siren be on Kaloli and 4th. You don't agree?
