Waiting for the flood

A culvert beneath the old Kohala railway in Hawaii

I’ve always thought this would be a great place to see a flash flood, or at least a little to one side of here. This is a culvert through an embankment of the old Kohala railway. Most of the time, it’s dry as a bone, but when it rains a good deal of water would be funneled through this spot.

These days, round pipes, made of steel or heavy duty plastic, are often used for culverts. This square concrete one looks built to last.
