Looks expensive. The grey ones are the broken ones.

Okay, but if this was a nuclear power plant we’d have a second Fukushima on our hands.
Ah yes, fission power plants, famously vulnerable to average thunderstorms.
I mean, we all saw how well one of them held up to a tidal wave
You realize that thunderstorms are unrelated to tsunamis?
Take a minute and rethink this comment.

Nowhere in the first comment did the poster claim that tidal waves and thunderstorms are related.

Maybe you came in after CrimeDad made their comment.

I can understand the confusion.

Done. No change in my position. In what way do you think that thunderstorms (a weather phenomenon caused by atmospheric conditions) and tsunamis (a wave caused by an earthquake or large underwater landslide) are related?

Where did the original comment say that they were related?

You made something up.

If you feel like it’s relevant I guess that’s your choice.

What are tsunamis, but thunderstorms of the sea?
what are thunderstorms but the ocean of the sky?
Now you’re getting it!
well, no, because the sky is the ocean of the sky.
I like the way you think!

I so rarely get to reference this “so bad it’s good” made-for-TV movie: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_Twister

This television film was inspired by a real-life near disaster that had taken place on June 24. 1998, when an F2 tornado hit the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station in Ohio resulting in the loss of off-site power. Despite that, the film bears no resemblance to the actual events at Davis-Besse.

I’ve seen that one! I remember not being blown away, but also thinking it wasn’t as terrible as I was expecting going into it.

and famously resilient in the event of a bombing, or direct plane strike, or PWR depressurization.

Yeah no, they’re built like fucking rocks, because they are one.
