Re: HURRICANE IRMA and Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant

Albert,

I have studied the berm on Google Earth. Hopefully it will be sufficient. If it is not, the consequences for Miami could be catastrophic.

They also built up the one around the wastewater treatment plant but chances are that will get flooded first being that it's in Key Biscayne. Turkey point is a serious threat because of it's proximity to the southern surge.
