Nothing new, but water levels are expected to recede which should eliminate the issue. Nothing serious yet, apparently the plant was shutoff today as part of regular scheduled maintenance. Still something to keep an eye on.
Put your head between your legs and kiss your butt goodbye.
my one hates the rain. She sits here holding it in waiting for it to stop. I am going to have to just shove her out there soon. My other one goes out there like it is nothing as tree branches fly around, i can't tell if he is that brazen or that dopey
I cannot believe FEMA dropped the ball there. It'll be game over for Obama if anything goes wrong.
Is that possible??
Yes.Chick on CNN just said a buoy recorded a wave of 32.5 FEET in NY Harbor.
We had 38 ft waves earlier this evening. And high tide is around midnight for the south shore.Chick on CNN just said a buoy recorded a wave of 32.5 FEET in NY Harbor.
Maybe 2nd - http://www.exeloncorp.com/powerplants/dresden/Pages/profile.aspx
Oops. I hope you guys keep things under control.
Unbelievable, can't imagine that in the harbor.Brooklyn subway station Some comments suggesting its the N train.We had 38 ft waves earlier this evening. And high tide is around midnight for the south shore.Chick on CNN just said a buoy recorded a wave of 32.5 FEET in NY Harbor.
No worries.Oops. I hope you guys keep things under control.
Yep, I checked the MTA Subway map and Ave U is an N train station.Unbelievable, can't imagine that in the harbor.Brooklyn subway station Some comments suggesting its the N train.We had 38 ft waves earlier this evening.

I have to say this does not exactly inspire confidence.
Any thoughts or insights on this boomer? This has jumped my inconvenience and annoyance to full blown anxiety. Obviously the last thing we need. How "normal" is an alert?There is one south of ocean city Nj that is also pretty close to the shore.No worries.Oops. I hope you guys keep things under control.
Isn't there a lot of water all around?
The plant was shutdown 2 weeks ago for refueling and there are 300 workers on site. My linkAny thoughts or insights on this boomer?

2nd lowest level of concern of 5. Not a big deal at all. I've seen a dozen in 20 years, just a condition outside of normal operating conditions. Plus the site is in shut down, again no worries...Any thoughts or insights on this boomer? This has jumped my inconvenience and annoyance to full blown anxiety. Obviously the last thing we need.

I'm worried for Ali Velshi. And for Mayor Langford.

Exactly, OYC is the least of the concerns.
Fukushima was still active when it occurred. Presuming this has been shut down for maintenance, you would no longer need the coolant system to cool the fuel rods since they aren't being used therefore, you wouldn't see a meltdown. Additionally, there is no indication that water has gotten to the generators (probably why it is still just a warning) and there is no indication the generators are in any danger of failing and one would think the US had or has put in new regulations about having an actual backup in case of floods although this last part is conjecture.Ok this is helping.

In brief, what made fukashima "FUKASHIMA" as compared to this? Was fukashima not overrun? Why is it not like this?
I'm willing to believe this, but I have heard that line before.
Fukushima water inundated the site, flooding emergency back up generators which provide back up power. without back up power, they had no way to provide cooling water to the reactors, thus meltdown. Here we have water levels are higher than designed in the intake bays, no threat to back up systems.Ok this is helping. Humor a shell shocked.

Trump is the fakest billionaire in America, I doubt he has the resources to keep that power on.
Dry People ProblemsOne of my suppliers "forgot" to ship my order from Massachusetts on Friday so I had it today. No telling when ill get it.

for a bit. As bad as this storm was, I feel pretty confident in feeling it wasn't analogous with a tidal wave but it's been a long life
I can't really explain it. When my wife takes them out in the morning on the leashes, they putz around for 10-15 minutes. Me, I just fling the door open and they are off to the races. Tonight they tore out and tore back in like I have never seen before. The one actually pissed on the porch.
UPDATE: and my 5 month old son is sick.P.S. I've got a 6 gallon bucket on a piece of plywood in the attic now too. How bad of an idea is that? PS2. FML
Have you considered drinking heavily?
[updated at 10:43 p.m.] The New York mayor’s office reports around 10 p.m. that the city’s 911 dispatchers are receiving about 10,000 calls per half hour.

thank you. Makes sense. I shudder to think of what the morning light brings.
Do you have any of those big 33 gallon storage containers that is long enough to sit across the 2x4s of the joists?
I think your bucket idea is a good one.
yup, unless you want to get up a few times i the middle of the night. The container may be real heavy depending how big the leak is, but you can take buckets and dump the water out in the morning. the 33 gallon container will be the safe bet though so you can avoid the least amount of water damage. Is it a pinhole like a nail in the roof, or can you see where the leak is coming in? you can always try a quick patch job there too from the inside to slow it down.
My linkThey're speculating a generator fire as the cause, we didn't hear yet if that's the case. The family in the house got out ok, their next door neighbor apparently broke his arm helping to get them out. Either way, glad everyone is OK but that hit way too close to home. I hope everyone continues to stay safe out there.
