Ahem, methinks your memory is a bit clouded on that one. The casualties from Chernobyl far exceeded anything this hurricane can drum up. And furthermore, the concrete that covered Chernobyl was put there by guys on suicide missions... that is to say, they went and dumped their load, knowing that they would be dead in a week if they entered the facility.

The failure of the dikes after the passing of the hurricane and storm surge will amount to one of the biggest boondoggles in history.
You have no idea what this 9' of water will cost us in the next 48 hrs - in $ and lives.
