AI6YR BenHmm... rain expected in the next 7 days in SoCal. Also a LOT of rain there in the midwest. #CAwx #rain
Carsten Franke@ai6yr and it seems to miss the Corpus Christi area in Texas, for the most part. They have a little water issue
@carstenfranke Oh wow. I am usually on top of this stuff, but the war signals are overwhelming the normal media and this stuff is getting lost.

After a decade of missteps, Corpus Christi careens toward water catastrophe
City officials expect to reach a “water emergency” within months and run out of water next year. That would halt jet fuel deliveries to Texas airports, hike gas prices and trigger a local economic disaster without precedent, former officials say.
@carstenfranke Wow
"...threatens to cut off the flow of jet fuel to Texas airports and other oil exports from one of the nation’s largest petroleum ports, triggering potential shockwaves through energy markets in Texas and beyond....state emergency managers would need billions of dollars to “build emergency temporary pipelines or subsidize desalination barge rentals to prevent a total evacuation of the city.”"

@ai6yr yup, that caught my attention, too. Especially in combination with the war that had just started... I think the article is from early March. Italy already has jet fuel restrictions... Asia has a jet fuel and diesel shortage... Europe counts on buying LNG from the US... And Asia now wants the same LNG since the Strait of Hormuz is closed. This summer will be chaos.
