RE: The nuclear situation in Japan is getting worse, experts worry about other plants in seismic zones
I have a house in Cayman. In severe hurricanes, all the AC, propane and rlated equipment was wiped off the sides of the house as the surge of water hit. After Ivan in 2004 the equipment enclosures were desiigned to deal with these surges and all equipment including the emergency gen set remained intact. Clearly tsunamis and wind driven surges over history should have raised someones level of awareness to protect "emergency" equipment in an emergency. Hard to believe this oversight.
