Well, this is quite terrifying. One or two days ago, 3 blades on 3 wind turbines (2 damaged turbines pictured) in Huron County, Michigan snapped off and are (as the local radio host puts it) hanging by a thread. I don’t know why or how this happened. A few days ago, the the turbine blades seemed just fine. Yesterday, I was going for a walk, and I noticed something weird in the distance. The tips of the blades appeared to be gone. I thought I was just seeing a cloud obscure the blades or I saw the blades at a weird angle. The radio news confirmed that the blades had indeed nearly snapped off.
This is just bizarre. That windfarm was being put together in the summer, and the pictured turbines were only completed around a month or so ago. They’re practically brand new blades! All these new wind turbines just popped up like mushrooms a while ago, and now a few of them have been damaged. There wasn't a tornado recently, so extreme weather is not a factor.
