I can't wait until they start rigging all the ultra-mega pup tents around the damaged buildings. I'm sure storms like the one this weekend will just be a prelude to the future weather impact they can expect as the rainy season starts later this year.
Hopefully this doesn't cause any major new releases during the storm because the fallout would be concentrated by the rain-out and the wind would be unfavorable. If the sediment being stirred up was the actual cause of the recent increase in radiation I wonder how much will be stirred up by a big storm? Also how many tons of water will the storm add to the waste they have to pump and store?
I sure hope those reactors won't be hit by lightening. Or the high waves go over the silt fence that they put.
We'll see if Murphy's law happens, again.
