September 27, 1985, but power was not fully restored until October 8. The utility's poor response to the storm further eroded public confidence in LILCO's ability to handle an emergency and placed increased pressure to shutter the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant.

In the end, in a political decision born from LILCO's inability to present a viable evacuation plan for
Suffolk County, Shoreham was closed down in 1992 after never having operated at more than minimum power for testing purposes.
