Whole cow! I didn’t know this and that is scary! I can’t imagine if everything around me shut down every time lighting was within 3 miles I live in Florida so dang!prone to flooding you say? Sounds like a great place to put your shipping hub! Great idea Fedex!
From what I understand, it isn't actual flooding that shuts them down, its the lightening. Anytime lightening is detected within 3 miles of the Fedex World Hub, the entire system, every scanner, conveyor, and trolley, comes to a screeching halt and the entire place stops until it passes.
So yes, anytime there is rain in the area, the whole place is prone to shut down.
