Fox is saying that 5 nuclear substations went out and that now 2 are back up, they do not know what the cause was.

Most, if not all, major power plants (nuclear and otherwise) have mechanism to prevent overloading and associated consequences if a substation fails or similar. This can create a cascade effect causing power plants to go off-line to prevent burnouts, etc of the equipment. Source of the incident would be most interesting because if it was intentional (terror related), it could allow other chaos to erupt if done on a larger scale/level.

They were showing live coverage from WSVN that I can’t get to load, the helicopter reporter said that they flew over the
Turkey Point Power Plant 2 days ago and noticed odd smoke
coming from one of the buildings there. He said that some
imigrants had come to shore there also.

Obviously this is all here say since I can’t get that page
to load and was listening to the chopper pilot.
