Wow bananahead,
You sure are an expert about all 10,000 of the people on this island who don't have power right now! So you just psychically know how every single one of us without power maintain our properties, if we can afford to spend $1000 on a generator that can operate a catchment pump, and just can't resist kicking people when they are down. What an unpleasant delivery of your message, most people have a pretty hard time listening to someone who is being an insulting know-it-all during a tough time.
FYI: my road lost power because of trees that were ALL growing in the right of way or on the property of off island owners. It is technically illegal to go onto someone else's property and kill their trees. A solution to allow people recourse if neighboring properties have hazard trees was shot down by the Kona side county counselors who didn't see a need for it. Virtually all the damage on Maku'u was also from empty lots, often lots that were bulldozed and then allowed to grow into albizia thickets. So yelling at all of us who live here and are trying to get by without water or power, telling us it is all our own fault because we don't follow your prescribed rules for living is mean spirited and insulting during a difficult time.
