Think of Louisiana before Katrina. Those systems of pumps and dykes are expensive and had been neglected... which was fine right up until they were severely tested by Katrina.

Our orange city counselman stopped funding repairs and inspections on the dykes and pumps many years ago (when he destroyed CISA). They've been deteriorating from neglect ever since.

A large hurricane is going to hit at 14:00 UTC

(In 10 minutes)

It'll almost certainly be handled quietly and nobody will know but system admins, but this could be a bigger thing than usual.
