DH just sent me this, with a note to say that it looks like there's good news for those of us in the East and the Midwest. Here's an excerpt:
"'Colonial' and 'Plantation' petroleum pipelines, which provide the majority of gasoline, diesel fuel, and jet fuel to the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast states, have taken steps to begin operation.
􀂃 Colonial is now operating at 750,000 barrels per day. Once additional generators are activated at inactive pump stations, production will increase to 1.2 to 1.3 million barrels per day. Further increases cannot be made until normal power is restored. The capacity of Colonial is about 2.4 million barrels per day. Solutions for power restoration are being actively pursued, and we should have additional information on this process in the next situation report.
􀂃 Plantation is now operating at 25% of capacity and hopes to be up to 50% of normal operations by Friday."
If you want to read the whole report, which lists all the data and electricity loss reports, here's the link--click on today's update:
