if you have a snorkel on your car you can drive through pretty deep water unless your tires leave the ground (then you die)

you can drive almost any car through a couple of feet of water, but it's a very short ramp from there on up

All the on site equipment, pumps instrumentation etc runs on off-site power. That's because you still need to run pumps etc even after the plant is shut down for whatever reason--ESPECIALLY nuclear because you need to keep cooling for weeks and weeks.

So all the plants have enormous diesel generators on site with lots of additional fuel to run for several days before resupply.

But if you get a gigantic tsunami and your diesels get swamped, you're hosed. So the nrc had to go through and do tons of inspections and engineering analysis and updated the regs. Iirc FPL alone spent into the nine figures for their plants. Much bigger impact on coastal plants, of course.

The real fun will be when the fault running below Diablo Canyon decides to go

Wouldn't worry about Diablo Canyon, getting decommissioned by 2025. It's baseload probably replaced by a couple solar panels and natural gas plants.

He tried checking the truck on the other side but he couldn't get to it, I guess they saw some flashlights on the opposite bank so hopefully they're ok?

I mean at that point it is kind of like a badge of pride almost. Granted I don't know what it would do to the aerodynamics of the car or its effect on gas millage.
