Obie, Top of the morning to you. I am rambling about the ROD and where it first started.
I had called J.B Friday who has lead the research for ROD back in 2011. I called him again in 2012, asking and inviting him to come out to leilani and take a look at the dead, dying or next Ohia for himself. The Mayor who I also called several times must have also asked J.B to come out and look because he did call me and set up a viewing, He brought a friend and student with him. Soon after seeing the hundreds of already dead Ohia They named it rapid ohia death and gave Leilani estates the brand of "Ground Zero". They also said that the winds were spreading the ROD like a wild fire.
As you know Obie, The PGV power plants sits a couple hundred yards below Leilani and the prevalent winds blow through PGV and then up through Leilani estates. The Rod was rapidly spreading up the Helco power line road on the Kahukai side of leilani from the PGV before it reached my yard. There was dead or dying Ohia trees down by my wife's parents house on Ho'okupu st at the bottom of Leilani before the top side of Leilani. This is why I will never forget how the ROD was moving up Leilani from the PGV area.
The worst spread of the ROD came just after the Hurricane or Tropical storm Iselle in august of 2014. During that Iselle storm the PGV had a blowout or release and also found that they indeed had leaking production from a very old well. Maybe it's all a coincidence, maybe it's also worth some independent studies. The PGV power plants are a close neighbor of Leilani estates, which has all been deemed Ground Zero for the worlds first ROD outbreak. PGV blowouts, releases and un-contained waste from the power plant have been known by locals to kill OHIA trees in the past. This is why I can not dispel the possibility that the mutation of ROD came from the PGV or surrounding properties. jmo's
