On the other side of the Cascades, we will be ruminating in 117° at the peak of the 10-day stretch of 100°+ highs.Yeah, I'm just above you on the map... Hitting hard here to. And my central air went out last night. Woke up in a sweat thinking like wtf is going on... Is the place on fire. Lol. Thank God I was able to go reset everything and it started working again... 44°c here for the next 4-5 Days. Like I'm not cranky enough already about the Bronco delays lol
Ford owns the property and can make changes to control runoff . Leadership made choices not to allocate resources to control runoff and now Ford is reaping the result.Now this is something that is entirely out of ford's control. That's just crazy amounts of rain and I remember what four inches of rain in a short time did around here a few years back. Hope all workers are safe and good luck (and not in a mocking way) to the people who will likely work long hours getting the plant back together.
BINGO, its not that big of a deal...people don't realize this happens often...that's one of the reasons why we have a safety team in place.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.
What about the broncos that are built can you find that out? Please?Not as bad as it could have been. Might be slight delays in production restarting but that very wll could be the worst of it.
The Stelantis plant, however...
I REALLY hope this is sarcasm.Ford owns the property and can make changes to control runoff . Leadership made choices not to allocate resources to control runoff and now Ford is reaping the result.
Yeah I'm just up a mountain just to the north of Mount Baker.... It's so damn hot up here right now. It's supposed to feel like 49° c or 121 Fahrenheit. It'll be like that for 5 or so... And about 95 for another 7. I'd still take this over what the poor folks in Michigan are getting tho. Ugh.On the other side of the Cascades, we will be ruminating in 117° at the peak of the 10-day stretch of 100°+ highs.
Sorry… but I fixed it for you.S#$t mine WAS getting built right now....
Stelantis more like AtlantisNot as bad as it could have been. Might be slight delays in production restarting but that very wll could be the worst of it.
