34 hours post-outage and the power has been restored! 🥳

Visually, the most damage I've noticed so far is at Typhoon Lagoon along Castaway Creek. So many beautiful trees and plants torn apart or forced to have been cut down. So sad to see. They're still reopening attractions as the day moves along as well as water effects(retaining wall isn't working right now for example) but it looks like Castaway Creek still needs another day. Water is freezing cold here as well. Today They're only open to Resort Guests. That limitation will likely be lifted tomorrow I'm told.

Yes indeed.

I think you're referring to the planned Cars ride in MK not the Cars show in HS which just closed.

I know one that I'd personally love to see canceled:

Finally landed at MCO after 3 flight cancellations and rebooks. From the airplane, could see various tree debris pushed to the side of the runways, roads, etc. The airport wasn't that busy at all imo, at least compared to when I was here about a month ago. Glad to finally be here, although my trip will be shortened by 2 days understandably – originally supposed to land on Wednesday morning.

Correct, underground high tension lines are a particular problem. For heat dissipation, underground high tension lines must be placed inside of a pipeline filled with dielectric fluid (oil) that is constantly pumped in a loop to a heat exchanger. So if you have a problem with oil pipelines, you should also have a problem with high tension underground lines. There exists an underground high tension line near LA that has defined operational issues but is not cost efficient to repair because..... it's underground.

I was asking about Hollywood Hills F! Theater since someone heard there was damage there DHS Ended my concern with scheduling F! tonight. thank you.........

Exactly. You don't just dig a trench and stick the wires in the ground. To start with they have to use insulated cables which are more expensive than the bare cables for above ground. Heat dissipation must be accounted for as you stated. And, like you said, when they get damaged it is much harder to locate and repair the damage. That said, if all of the local distribution lines in an area hit by a hurricane were underground, there would be far fewer power outages from the storms. However, they aren't immune to damage from trees. The difference is that for overhead lines, trees fall on them while the roots of a toppled tree can rip underground lines apart.

Underground lines are not as simple as just burying power lines. They have to be totally redesigned because of heat dissipation. Also, while they may not get damaged as often, when they do get damaged, they take a LONG time to repair.

This is the first time they ever flooded like this. There are pros and cons to having them. My brother finally put on in. He is in a lower lying area. And while his basement has sump pumps, he really does not flood. However the sanitary sewers back up into his basement when other parts of the town flood. He finally broke down and paid to have one put in.
