90% of liquid fuel in #Oregon arrives through an industrial neighborhood in NW #Portland. This neighborhood is a mashup of rickety, aging fuel tanks, pipeline terminals from refineries, and tanker cars carrying fuel away.
If/when an earthquake hits, this critical energy infrastructure hub, just north of downtown, will likely dump 193.7 million gallons of oil into the Willammette and Columbia Rivers --- potentially the worst environmental disaster in US history.
