should be plenty of wind this weekend to spin up those turbines

The irony of it is, the things have over-limit sensors that will shut them down if the wind speeds get to be "too much".

More wind is not better, where a wind turbine is concerned... they will probably be off line all weekend.

Just curiously, if the turbine is stationary, will wind force like that damage it?

Guess I should have "sarc" tagged it. I do know they get shut down if it gets too "breezy". 👹🌬

Our experimental wind turbine was destroyed...by wind.
