It is not comparable to look at the total destruction between the 2 events. What is comparable is the road rebuilding. We need 3 miles restored on 132, PGV showed us it's very easy to bulldoze through. Restoring 132 will get the bulk of the evacuees back to their land AND take the pressure off Government Beach RD. Kauai needed to restore 3 bridges, clear 14 landslides and repair the road. Our bulldozing needs pale in comparison to Kauai.
I am one of the evacuees who can't get home until 132 is opened all the way through 4 Corners. The PGV access does nothing for me. IF 132 gets opened by October, then we get to begin our recovery. With any luck we might get to move back home a year and a half after we evacuated.
Mayor Kim has said he can't stop people from wanting to live on their land, but he sure is doing a good job making it as painful as possible to go home.
