So got an alert that McGuire Nuclear Station had an "inadvertent" siren go off at 9 am.

Didn't POTUS Trump mention something about Westinghouse recently?

Unless I'm misremembering the name.

Also, NC power facilities been being shot up lately.

"The McGuire Nuclear Station is a nuclear power plant located about 17 miles (27 km) northwest of Charlotte, North Carolina, on the state's largest lake, Lake Norman. It is a 32,500-acre (13,200 ha) lake created in 1963 by Duke Power for the Cowans Ford Hydroelectric Station. The McGuire units use the lake's water for cooling. This plant has two Westinghouse pressurized water reactors and has a capability to produce 2,250 megawatts of net power, with a net generation of 17,514 GW·h in 2005. This represents 44% of the total nuclear power generation for the state of North Carolina."

Here's the sauce:

"HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — A siren sound you may have heard coming from Duke Energy's McGuire Nuclear Station in Huntersville was part of a regularly scheduled silent test, officials confirmed.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Emergency Management confirmed that there was not a siren malfunction and that the siren was inadvertently sounded.

The siren sound you may have heard was a regularly scheduled silent test of the McGuire Nuclear Station Sirens. A malfunction occurred causing the test to sound at full volume. There is no need for public action at this time.

Officials previously said there was a malfunction, causing the siren to play at full volume.

Emergency officials said no public action is required at this time. The sirens are only being used for testing purposes."
