Getting something on the local news now about a transformer having “problems”...which in turn made the nuke plants shut down, which brought about the domino effect.

Interesting.

FWIW, from my link at reply #134....

Spokesman Bob Coleman said the company shut down two nuclear generators at its Turkey Point plant south of Miami. When that happened, he said the entire state of Florida began to run low on electricity. When the supply gets low, then some circuits have to be disconnected.

A local newsman at a TV station mentioned that yesterday they saw black smoke coming from a building at Turkey Point, and called the facility. They were told everything was fine.

Now hearing they had a problem, and shut it down - well, guess everything wasn’t fine.

Stuff like that didn't even happen after our major hurricanes, including the BIG one, Andrew. I know, I was here for that.
