Just an uneducated guess but I'm not expecting much activity on the East side. Worst case scenario for the East side, and all the islands really, is that the storm wallops and damages the ports on Oahu and there is no effective way to unload the big barges from the West Coast.
Does anybody know if the fuel barges that go to the outer islands are dependent on the port facility on Oahu? A friend of mine who works near the ports on Oahu said the fuel barge that was headed to Kauai was turned around, and a friend of mine at Lihue told me 3 gas stations there have ran out of fuel from people gassing up ahead of the hurricane.
Fuel comes from Barbers point.. which is potentially exposed.
