Latest WARNING
“A Storm Surge Watch means there is a possibility of life- threatening inundation, from rising water moving inland from the coastline, in the indicated locations during the next 48 hours.”

Here’s the problem – the hurricane is expected to go far inland, knocking out power, causing flooding etc. etc. – The nuke plant control rooms use conventional energy, not nuke energy and backup power generators fail after just hours of use. Fukushima blew up because the backup power didn’t happen.

HOLDEN BEACH, N.C. (Reuters) – Powerful Hurricane Florence grew larger on Tuesday and is expected to bring days of rain, deadly flooding and power outages lasting weeks after it slams into the U.S. Southeast coast later this week.
Winds and massive waves will pound coastal North and South Carolina when Florence makes landfall on Friday, and its rains will take a heavy toll for miles inland, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) warned….. (more)

Maybe “sometimes fail”, though I guess days is still “hours”. They had Katrina on emergency generators for a week but they had many of them lined up. I don’t know how often they changed them. Sometimes they don’t start; sometimes they overheat. They could run out of fuel. No generators they go on batteries which is really short.

In the Natural News article they claim that rad falls to zero after 10 half-lives. This is false. It’s more like 13 to 15 and really it never falls totally to zero, I am told by an Ivy League educated expert. It’s just easier to calculate with 10 and with most of these isotopes it doesn’t even matter because it is so long. So, tritium, half-life of around 12 years, will be radioactive for almost 200 years (12 x 15 is 180 years).

Florence’s 1-in-100-Year Storm Surge Breaks All-Time Records by Dr. Jeff Masters.
Excerpt: Long-term storm surge records like this are very difficult to break, and speak to how large and dangerous Florence’s storm surge has been. The threat from Florence’s surge is not over yet, either–the National Hurricane Center was warning on Friday night that Florence’s storm surge could still bring water levels up to 12 feet above ground in eastern North Carolina….As of this writing (8 pm EDT), the storm surge was still rising, and stood at 4.9 feet.
