Thanks for the link and I will read it, but I am most definitely an anti nuke, so you're not winning me over with that nonsense. Clearly the back ups and contingency plans are too vulnerable to the fallibility of man and the forces of nature, and the costs of the consequences way too high. And I say that from my engineering and technical background. The generators in Fukushima were worthless once the sea water flooded the power distribution in the basement (dumb) - there is always a common failure point no matter how many back ups you have.The Anti's disinformation often gets repeated as fact by the less than impartial media.
All PWR abd BWR's have multiple backups and redundancys for safe shut down, or would not be Liscensed to operate period.
If a back up generator is down for main't it is a BIG deal, and if there isn't an operable redundant generator, the facility gets shut down, period.
10CFR will have everything that the media is too lazy to look up, and the anti's too dishonest to admit.
NRC: 10 CFR Appendix A to Part 50—General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants
Stay safe!

This has been much easier for me than last year. My daughter is home with her roommate from college, and neighbors will no doubt be stopping by to warm up, charge phones and chat. It could be a lot worse.
Pics of daughter and college roommate or it didn't happen....
Don't sweat it -- rain is just surface moisture and goes away almost as fast as it comes. Back before dryers, folks used to hang their clothes outside in January...they'd freeze stiff as a board then loosen up as the ice evaporated away.
It's the water inside the wood that you need to season it to remove. That will get it down to your average humidity, which is usually high-teens / low 20s for most folks.
Putting it up on pallets to keep wood from wicking the ground moisture and dew is more important then a tarp over it.
Though it's nicer to bring in dry wood inside instead of rained on/snowed on wood.
Lost all my covers that where clear plastic. Tore them to shreds. Think I will be going back to the brown tarps. My stacks are three splits deep. It will take awhile for them to dry out. Good thing I have plenty thats under tarps or roofing rubber.
Damn, I got a bunch of that from home depot, something like 4mil thick and was going to try it on the top. How did you have it attached? I was thinking staple gun but my stack runs north/south so it's getting broadsided with wind.
