Two young freckly ginger sisters in identical horrific pre-novelty jumpers. A finer start in life there surely isn't.

Wowzers

Hurricanes and wind turbines don't go so well...

Thought that was fake at first.
Wonder if it was really the wind that did the damage as it wasn't actually all that bad.

Recorded windspeeds in excess of 130mph. Not that bad?

But you'd design for 200mph, given that >150mph is a normal feature of Scottish weather, i.e you'd expect it to happen multiple times during the life of a wind turbine in that location.

Recorded, doesn't mean they weren't stronger.

You can design for whatever you want. Nature will always win the fight

Fair enough, I'm in Glasgow and we certainly didn't see anything like 130mph winds.

Few wheelie bins over, that was about it.

doesn't mean they weren't stronger

Turbine fire during high winds doesn't mean high winds caused turbine fire either.
