Bay City? Isn't that where the reactors are?

Yup, the STNP reactors they are south of Bay City near Blessing and just inland from the Matagorda Bay. I have not yet seen anyone else mention this tidbit. Time to panic!

Factoid - Blessing was to have originally been named "Thank God" by legendary cattleman Shanghai Pierce after completing a railroad line to it but the proprieties of the day (and perhaps his wife) gave us its current name.

Nothing to worry about, they can crash-shutdown the place and get out if they have to. It'll take a few weeks to bring back online if they have to crash it, but nothing bad will happen to it in the hurricane. It could flood almost completely and nothing will happen if it's shut down. In that respect, the nukes are a lot better than conventional plants.

Yikes...like I said, hubby has worked down there. Also at Farley in Dothan, AL. Every few years his company re-organizes and there is a chance of relocating. We are very happy that we got to stay here...up north in PA. Prayers to you Texas FReepers.
