Makes sense actually, probably in case of flooding.

Doesn't make that pump any less sensible though!

Well, now I do feel like a cunt.

Past my bedtime, so didn't connect this with that wee bit of weather the East coast USA experienced recently.

Sincerely hope lugging diesel remains the least of their worries.

This is reminiscent of what happened at Fukushima Daiichi, although with less dire consequences.
