Re: Rail Transit
I lived only 17 miles from the epicenter when that Loma Prieta, nicknamed "World Series" quake hit that Oct. of '89. I vaguely recall the news talking of fitting our overpasses with steel and that it prevent them doing from what happened that day. If they are built properly they will be fine during quakes, except for an "end of the world" quake that's over an 8 mag. or something.
The big island is overdue for some 7magnitude quaking, that's for sure but double decker hiways will be fine if built with more than cement. Remember, we already have overpasses that can fall during quaking.
Rail is wrong, but now that some wise folks are pushing to put it to a
VOTE!.....I think we'll be just fine. I've gotta see how I can help to get the signatures for the vote. I heard we have until August to get 60,000 sigs.
