Don't forget that your hot water heater is a source for emergency water after the storm. If you need to "tap" it, be sure to turn off the cold water feed valve so that it does not get contaminated and also be sure to turn off the breaker in case power gets restored first. You can get the water from the drain valve at the bottom and therefore it is good prep to flush it out now since most people don't do that on a regular basis, if ever.

Bay City? Isn't that where the reactors are? PaDad has gone there many times to work at the power plant.

Gosh, I've never heard that one can use the water from the water heater. Thanks for the heads up.

Unfortunately, that's about *all* you have in Lubbock. :-P

I'll ride this one out here in Dallas. I'm pretty well prepared and will be more so by this weekend when the storm arrives.

If that damn is breached and the reservoir is drained, what effect does that have on operations and will it have to shut down.

It's more hole than dam, but if that can/does happen, they wouldn't be able to operate for long, altbough they'd have time to shut down without "China Syndrome" worries. That "cooling pond" is STNPs equivalent of the big cooling towers other plants have.

That's about 98% WAG on my part, though--it's been a long time since I knew...

Believe it or not, I got that from the New Orleans emergency management pages while researching Nagin's folly.

Also, try the following - Plano, Mesquite, Allen, and McKinney. Also, Farmer's Branch, Carrollton, Lewisville, Irving, Coppell and Flower Mound. Honestly, I'd try Flower Mound, few people would think of that.

Katrina didn't look like this monsetr until right before landfall. I heard this morning one forecasater say "it's Cat 4 or Cat 5 from here on out." Do any weather people here know of anything that might take the steam out of this thing?

Have them tune to 740 AM or 950 AM, and that way they'll know for themselves.

Yeah, that's true. Burleson and Mansfield come to mind, so does Arlington.
