4. Yeah I know. Cuomo's father also was responsible for not opening Shoreham.

Ultimately, years later, Long Island was partially inundated by seawater during Hurricane Sandy. It was just the first shot across the bow.

My stepbrother's family went up to the attic with seawater rising through the floor boards during that adventure. Happily the storm subsided before all eight of them drowned in their attic.

It does seem that Long Island doesn't have an evacuation plan for seawater but thought it needed one for Shoreham to open.

I was a dumb fuck antinuke when I grew up on Long Island and participated in protests against Shoreham.

I helped to kill the future of humanity, and all the expiation in my later life has not helped all that much.

We still, this late in the game, have lots of antinukes and "I'm not an antinuke" antinukes around here and elsewhere working to make sure that lots more people die from extreme global heating. I encounter them here all the time.
