CROWELL, Texas – A North Texas wind farm is one turbine down thanks to what officials believe was a devastating lightning strike to one of the massive structures on Friday afternoon.
Videos from witnesses and firefighters showed the wind turbine generator ablaze and disintegrate in the sky over Crowell, Texas.
Doppler radar indicated there were plenty of lightning strikes around the Foard City wind facility before firefighters received the call about the high-altitude fire.
Crews with the Crowell Volunteer Fire Department responded, but Fire Chief Perry Shaw said there was little his firefighters could do to put the fire out.
“We’re not equipped to handle that kind of fire. Nobody in the area really is to speak of,” Shaw said.
Just ask the people in Crisfield what they think of them they hate them and we will too if show up off of Ocean City taking away the beautiful memory we have always had don’t let it happen anywhere else in Maryland if you care about this state. Instead install them on every mansion Joe Bye Done has, Pelosi’s Moat surrounded island with metal gates and armed guards. They are the ones that should have to look at it the rest of their lives, leave the rest of us alone.
OCMD’s proposed windmills were always proposed to be built past the horizon line, moron.
key word remains – PROPOSED!
What? Local firemen don’t have a 350 foot ladder truck? Time for another grant!
And how many billions did that turbine cost, and how many bald eagles did it kill, they are a disaster ask Crisfield.
