2. Reactors should be shut down before a storm like this

If there's a serious accident during a storm like this, people won't be able to evacuate and emergency workers won't be able to get in. That's a completely avoidable disaster. There's enough generation capacity for peak load during the summer when air conditioners are running at full blast, so the electricity from nuclear isn't needed at all.
