The only way Nedry can obtain these embryos is to disable the park by hacking into the park's computers, so that he could sneak in and steal the embryos. This all takes place while the visitors are out in the park touring, and during a terrible storm.

After Nedry has executed a virus in order to steal the embryos, the storm hits and the park power goes out. As the power goes out...
