Meanwhile in Jellystone

Checking in on Fort Calhoun, Cooper Nuclear Station and Los Alamos
THERE IS NO ‘NEW‘ NEWS FROM EITHER NEBRASKA NUCLEAR PLANT next to the flooded Missouri River. There have been no new event notifications to the NRC in the last week. River gauge readings for both Fort Calhoun (Blair) and Cooper (Brownsville) are well below the “major” flood stage and should continue to drop. Cooper remains on line, running at 100 percent while Fort Calhoun remains shutdown. This situation is likely to last through August.
LOS ALAMOS: 12,000 RESIDENTS RETURNED HOME on Sunday when the evacuation order was lifted. And yesterday the Los Alamos National Laboratory reopened and its employees returned to work. The residents have two new problems though: the fires chased lots of wildlife into the town, including black bears.
Romp: Brown bears have invaded deserted Los Alamos and as residents return home they are being warned about their new guests
Additionally, New Mexico’s monsoon season is set to begin, now with an even greater potential for flash flooding:
The risk to flooding has been aggravated by the raging wildfire which has burned off trees, ground-hugging grasses and vegetation, raising concerns that any run-off will barrel down canyons unchecked, causing creeks to burst their banks.
Fires, bear invasions, and floods: worst summer ever!
AFA Threat Down: Bears are a sign “our land is under a curse”
American Family Association‘s Bryan Fischer thinks bear attacks are “A Sign That The Land is Under a Curse“
[Previously he's] voiced his outrage that a whale a Sea World was not put to death for killing a trainer, but what makes Fischer really livid is that bears are not just being shot on sight, as he has now dedicated a second blog post to claiming that attacks by “savage beasts” is proof “that the land is under a curse”:
“One human being is worth more than an infinite number of grizzly bears. Another way to put it is that there is no number of live grizzlies worth one dead human being. If it’s a choice between grizzlies and humans, the grizzlies have to go. And it’s time.
…God makes it clear in Scripture that deaths of people and livestock at the hands of savage beasts is a sign that the land is under a curse. The tragic thing here is that we are bringing this curse upon ourselves.”
Stephen Colbert would agree. He’s opined numerous times about the Bear Threat to our Nation. Watch and learn:
