Don’t worry, I hear homeland security is on the scene and they will take care of everything... lol
So what happens when an F5 tornado hits the backup generators?
Will he respond this time? - Maybe this = with 300+ and climbing deaths, it will require TWO rounds of golf?
I remember in disasters like this, Bush would be boots on the ground, looking at the damage, listening, comforting and hugging survivors - handing our water.
He CARED about our country and about Americans/
The article is not entirely true - there is one 161 kV transmission line in service providing an off-site power source. However, since it is the only source, they’re running 7 of the 8 diesels on site to supply most of the plant’s needs. The 8th diesel was out for maintenance at the time of the tornado outbreak and is expected to be brought on line today. There was a 15 minute period when all off-site sources were out, but one line was restored at that time.
As of this morning, TVA had some 77 major transmission lines out of service, mostly concentrated in Alabama, southern Mississippi, and eastern Tennessee. They estimated the number of customers without power that are supplied by TVA’s distributors to be around 322,000 this AM, based on figures given to TVA by the various power distribution entities in TVA’s territory.
Dang. That is two US Nuclear Plants losing external power due to Tornado damage in one month. Guess we have to hope no plant takes a direct hit knocking out the generators.
OH NO! WE ARE GONNA DIE! OMG! IT’S GONNA MELT!
AAAAHHHHHH!
(big freakin’ deal)
