"Extremely Dangerous" Category 4 hurricane
Once again I must plead my case for ‘power lines going underground?
I know that ‘Power Company Employees do not want the lines underground and for some very good reasons and a few other reasons?
Back when I was working I have seen many old buildings with power piping from 'build to build' underground and have seen and heard what happens once they get old!
However; the operative word is (Piping)!
Those power-line pipes were run using lead, iron and/or steel pipes
with
lead, iron and/or steel fittings!
Today we think nothing of
Natural Gas Companies running their piping,
with thousands of pounds of pressure
under streets, buildings and across state borders!
Why?
Because these companies are using modern pipes held together with modern glues.
Polyethylene gas piping systems are specifically engineered and certified for the underground environment.
All of the work is in safety panels above ground.
Power lines can be run through another much thicker pipe for protection and safety.
Hurricane Laura was a Category 4 storm an
"extremely dangerous" Category 4 hurricane!
