Hi All:

Have you ever seen a sadder sight :(

I took my son back to Iowa after his spring break on Sunday and saw this on the way out near DeKalb, IL while on I-88.

Next to Busted Wind Turbine.

I have never seen this before and while we had some winds the previous weeks; I do not remember any being over 30-mph gusts for the past month or so?

Oops.

See, that's the problem with wind. Intermittent and the turbines break. It's all so pointless.

:rolleyes:

Someone go check to see if there is a large bird carcass on the ground nearby! :p

I'm just noticing the old windmill in the background on the lower picture. I wonder how old that is?

The houses near by are very fortunate that the end of that blade didn't let go!! :eek:
