Two Virginia nuclear plants were shut down in the last big storm.  Note on this one:  "it may be weeks before power can be restored to all of the 300,000 customers whose power is supplied by the federal utility."

At least they had the smarts to put it in shut down after the generators kicked on.  Now, will the generators be operational after a large NM earthquake?
