One thought on “California Superstorm Would be Costliest Ever US Disaster”
The USGS study, and the dollar estimate of damages, assumes that CA’s nuclear facilities are undamaged in any way. The report says on its face, p 42, that they were explicitly left out of consideration for the scenario. To their credit, they do call for further research on the matte provided congress gives them the funds. If they don’t then that will be a lot like the folks in Japan who ignored the seismologist’s 2009 warning that they should study tsunami hazards at the Fukushima plant. If I were in congress that’s not a legacy I would want to risk
