Hurricane season 2024

Yeah one of the biggest reasons can’t really get out we know someone who is evacuating and they sat for 8 hours and made it 60 miles also almost all gas is gone within 10 miles of me there is no gas stations with gas any gas station with gas have liens at least a mile long.

Wow, poor all of you! I just pray you all will be safe!
Keep us posted! And I'll be thinking of you all over the next week!

Yeah... You heard that correctly... and all of it is possible and true.

China owns oil in Canada and the XL pipeline was for China to load their tankers full of oil in the Gulf port.

Instead... China was forced to go North. Through the Bering Straights.

Not that. The whole forcing a hurricane into a pipe to Canada thing.

And yes... the XL pipeline could deal with (most) of the storm surge. Then be reopened when fairer winds prevail.

(And the Great Lakes could use a refill too).

It'd be a bit like pouring a gallon of milk into a cup through a straw, wouldnit?

If the pumps in the pipeline are still good, I think it would be possible.

It just "diameter of pipe by flow rate of pumps". I'm not smart enough to do THAT math.

Not saying it would take all the storm surge... but it would sure help.

Ever seen 48" steel pipe???

50-60ft long???

Seen bigger pipes than that at Lake Mead. Still. A hurricane.

No. I'm sorry, there is zero way you can possibly funnel significant water out of the gulf with an oil pipeline to mitigate the impact of a cat 5 hurricane hundreds of miles wide and hundreds of miles out to sea. Please stop. This thread is not the right place to throw wild and unfounded speculation.

Thank you.

The Keystone pipeline uses 36" diameter pipes and was designed to move massive amounts of (Chinese owned oil) from Canada to the Gulf port.

The project was scrapped in 2008. So we basically have a "water tunnel" running through our country

Again..
You are forgetting the Great Lakes would be on the receiving end. Not saying It would take all of the brunt.

Again... I can't calculate the volume, but do know 36" was used for the pipeline.

2 runs side by side, for how many other miles
