All of the damage in the Middle Street and Kalihi Valley area was all predicted by FEMA and City Flood Maps. The HART rail Final EIS lied repeatedly that the project was NOT in a Flood Zone, which it clearly is. 

This where all of the next billions of Rail construction is going - into clearly, well marked storm surge, tsunami and sea level rise zones that will waste billions in future disasters.  All of the future rail route and stations into Ala Moana will ALL be in future disaster zones. But no one cares. It is the vast stupidity of all this that no one in the news media even mentions.
