And the backup generators don't work, because they didn't think of raising them above disaster flood level.

Pray that they get those reactors cooled down, best case is that they are ruined and will have to be dismantled and rebuilt. This is a serious blow to the nuke industry. Japanese are amazing folks, they will rebuild and recover but the human toll cannot be repaired, it is amazing that the death toll is as minimal as it appears but that's no comfort to the victims.
