Braidwood nuclear plant nearly hit by tornado | 23 June 2015 | (Braidwood, IL) The ABC7 I-Team looked at a close call for a nuclear plant when one of Monday night's twisters brushed by the Braidwood generating station. Braidwood was [*allegedly*] built to take a direct hit from a tornado. The tornado took down signs, bent utility poles, snapped power lines and cracked trees in half, all within the Braidwood nuclear plant perimeter. “This has been a freak two years,” said Braidwood Mayor James Vehrs. Freaky and lucky, Vehrs said, because it is the second time in two tornado seasons that the nuclear plant has been in the path of a twister.
