Hurricane season 2024

Basically, they're thinking it'll weaken a bit because of the EWRC but it may get stronger after (they often do).

I want a taco. Actually I think I want two tacos. With sour cream.

I kinda want specific tacos but It means a trip to Yuma for them and I don't have time for an 8 hour round trip for a while.

Hey, this really is brilliant!

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

Depends on the Volume of water the pumps can handle. Plus they are twin 36" pipes.

And water moves faster than oil.... especially crude.

There is a creek behind my house. It is not even a very big one, really a stream. There is a 10 ft. diameter pipe a couple hundred yards away that takes it under a highway. Yep, 10 ft. diameter. That is just to handle a small creeks waters during heavy rains. 36 inch diameter pipe is not much. It wouldn't even put the thought of a dent in what is coming to Florida. It is laughable really. But, it doesn't hurt to think outside the box for fun. Sometimes it even pays off. This is not one of those times.

Yeah... ok. Guess who came up with the way to cap Deep water Horizon???

And I didn't get a dime for it either.

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.

What about founded but still wild? Asking for a friend

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

I live close to Lake Erie. I don't want or need it any higher than it is. With salt water from the ocean, no less
