This article is major clickbait hand-wavey garbage. There’s so many exaggerations and half truths I don’t know where to start. Peter Holly has been in Houston long enough to know he could have called the guys who designed those storage vessels and other refinery equipment (they’re likely neighbors) and get a quote about the tolerances they were designed for. He could have included a map showing the placement of the various container ports (there’s more than one, this isn’t Long Beach) and refineries or storage. This information is all easily obtained in Houston.
Every time something happens here with a hurricane people here and across the country see fit to write inflammatory articles that are pure bullshit.
Is there some risk of a LOPC (loss of primary containment) somewhere near the coast? Yes. How big? Which facilities? What category storm? What storm track? Would it be like Chernobyl? No.
