I thought SONGS was way the hell up the hill from the sea, Winnie. I
lived 16 miles kinda downwind of it for 36 years. But looking at the
pic, I see that they carved the cliffs down and set it closer to sea
level.

As the limerick goes:"Perhaps it's a trick of perspective..."

It sure looks to be only slightly ASL to me, though. (Shudder).

Yabbut, it's 30'.


It does look to be at risk, but a seawall would fix that in a
hurry for only a few dozen million ducats.

Anyway, those cliffs to the right are at least 80' tall, which is why I
thought SONGS was elevated. I only hiked 'em once (rt). OK, I see that
they're 30' up. http://tinyurl.com/4dkt8ek I think I'd feel safer with
an extra 20' seawall, anyway.

Yes, that is taller than the 19 - footer at Fukushima....

Not on the beach, silly, up around the buildings, totaling 50' ASL.
