You would rather have them shut down a plant for the week or so it takes to bring down all the reactors in a controlled sequence and bring them back on line, than for the Refinery to lose power to pumps and other sensitive equipment and have an issue that causes a fire or Reactor to become inoperable for several months to years.
100 mph winds at ground level increases greatly elevations of 150’-250’ which is a normal distance off sea level for many Drilling Rigs and Production platforms in the Gulf. They will shut them down and remove personnel for the Safety of the crews that are working the platforms.
