[Update: Only 1 Hour of Production Lost] MAP Flood Yesterday Suspended Bronco Production

[DETT]

Wow, crazy, looks like a hurricane went through. Would have been nice if that was spread across the country (especially out west), instead of all in one place.

Just so happens I'm taking volunteers to help bail my basement out...
Take as much water as you need

Sorry guys, I'm not comfortable getting into this. I don't think the full impact is understood yet.

I take it nobody on the line reported in today?

No bueno. Not surprising though as the pics show water coming out of the walls where electrical equipment no doubt exists.

makes much sense, its a plant safety issue now...

hopefully we just lost 1 shift of production so 150 vehicles maybe right? hopefully they are working the weekend and next week was shut down anyway right? so this should be a minor bump relatively.

Which forum members are near again? We need recon!

Will drive by on my way home this afternoon and see. The lots I could see appeared to be fairly high level.

Looks like the former webesto management is tired of being under that bus!

So @PREMiERdrum hypothetically, if my Bronco was slated to be built yesterday, what are the chances it was still in assembly when it flooded? I know you don't know for sure, but just as a hypothetical situation for a guy crying in his French toast.

What about the broncos that are built and awaiting shipment? That’s what mine says.

You’re supposed to drown French toast in syrup not tears!

So still blame priority orders for causing problems? Get over it. We’re all in the same boat.

I think our rigs were supposed to both roll off the line in the last couple days. Any concern of loss of built Bronco’s to damage?

that used to happen at my Ford plant from time to time. all that roof area catching heavy rain and all of it going down the drains faster than the sewers could take it away. the building had been expanded a few times since original construction in the 1940s and had overwhelmed the city systems. usually it was the water pressure lifting the manhole covers that would flood the plant floor. not puddles mind you, inches deep with current. interim to city upgrades maintenance welded the manhole covers down then sometimes the water pressure would find another week spot and escape to the floor.
there are usually numerous pits on a factory floor, most filled with electrical equipment. for me as an electrician it was all hands on deck and long hours.
eventually the city caught up but with changing weather who knows.

edit, seldom (maybe never) were any units lost, only time and maybe some floor stacked parts.
