Were they struck by another object or did they spin so fast they bugered up the generator?

That windmill is pointing the wrong way. Gearbox probably couldn't the revs in reverse.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

I was under the impression that in severe winds they were supposed to be locked into position so they don't rotate at all.

We had 103mph winds here last night. I haven't seen any structural damage in the area, yet.

The day before yesterday, a trailer was flipped over by a side wind and smacked into the side of an oncoming car. Luckily nobody was hurt and just some light dents along the side of the Touran which was hit.

SHOCK NEWS:

Scotland has crap weather during December

In other news, the Pope announced today that he is, in fact, Catholic. :roll:
