Doesn't matter if you live directly downstream if the Hoover Dam goes, the aftermath would be a long-term power and water disaster for a big chunk of the Western US.
Kind of a dammed if you do, dammed if you don't situation.

It's not as crazy as it sounds. A sizeable portion of the backlogs at ports is moving containers around. There's no more room at most ports to increase the size of container storage, so moving them out to another location tracks. Also keeps access open for return of empties if truckers are picking up full containers somewhere else.
Now to read the article and see how close I am to their reasoning!
I remember when I first got out of high school I worked in shipping and would often fuck up release orders for containers
It never delayed any ships but did mean I understandably freaked out the owners of those containers because they would have to pay for another day of holding in the port. It never happened, always managed to get resolved at the end of the day, but I definitely got close to costing companies thousands in fees
Let’s all just agree that like, next Saturday lunch until Sunday lunch we’re all gonna pretend a big boat got stuck. It’ll be sorta like renewing our wedding vows
I definitely know of some, uh, romance stories that involve someone getting their big boat stuck.

I'm fine living in a place with Tornadoes. The chances of getting hit with one are slim.
I think I'd be fine on the west coast with earthquakes.
But no way in heck do I ever want to find myself downriver of a significant dam.

Damn.

Eh, I was fairly accurate...
for now
And then point them at the side of the canal. In fact get the Loony Tunes roadrunner to paint the side to look like the regular canal path.
Wile E. Coyote does the painting.

I believe Roadrunner has painted the tunnel in at least one short.
