Let us hope that this is minor.

That’s not the only crisis playing out. Thirty miles south of Wilmington, Duke Energy’s Brunswick nuclear plant has declared a state of emergency. The plant’s 1,200-acre complex is currently cut off to outside personnel by flood waters and workers are stranded.

Nuclear plant declares emergency, second breach reported at coal ash site amid Florence’s rains

The two reactors there are of the same design as Fukushima.

OMG.

Did we not see this hurricane coming for a week and did we not know hurricanes come there?
 
Even Think Progress says the emergency is the lowest level because workers are trapped. The reactors are in hot standby mode three. Whatever that is. But it sounds like they are safe. Might that change? Sure. But in the end Nuclear is the only power source that is not effected by weather that is carbon free.
