I'm familiar with the island, it's it's puzzling that the major 3 cell carriers would accept a single point of failure like that, you would think they had microwave backup at minimum. Maybe it was a generator issue. I'm sure a few cells burned but there are over ten on the west side so they didn't all burn. Feet on the ground are reporting they brought in at least a few COWS (cellular on wheels/portable cell site trucks) On Thu, Aug 17, 2023, 12:53 AM William Herrin <bill@herrin.us> wrote:

Last, it's an island and diverse paths are short in number.
To put it into perspective: there are exactly TWO roads that can get you from Lahaina back to Kahului and the airport. One of them is a narrow, cliff-hugging single lane road that is more or less paved.
Though I am curious about the Paniolo cable landing in Lahaina. Did it survive? HICS and HIFN land in Kihei instead, right?
