How far do you think nearly-horizontal wind is going to carry a huge piece of metal?
Unless you think it's not going to sink pretty quickly after it lands?

It can carry roofs of trailer homes over miles after ripping them off, I believe it can carry wind turbine blade multiple miles.
Have you never heard of massive schools of fish, including sharks, being sucked up and carried miles away onto land?
I think you underestimate the power of a hurricane.
Regardless, it's a reasonable concern to have, is it not?
It should be proven to be safe, not the other way around.
Don't assume something isn't hazardous.
Yeah, across land with nothing to sink into.

From a hurricane, not a tornado?
I have not heard of that.
You do know hurricanes lose power when they hit land right?
> From a hurricane, not a tornado?
Tornadoes do. Hurricanes do as well. Why do you think there would be any difference? Hurricanes are generally more powerful.
> Why do you think there would be any difference?
The direction the air currents go.
I was asking. I don't know what a hurricane will do to a wind turbine blade.
You seem to be very sure, so I assume you have something to cite, could you link it?
I don't know how I'm supposed to cite a negative.
(I can easily find citations for tornadoes/waterspouts. I don't see any for hurricanes.)
Nice deflection trying to pick one irrelevant point though.
It seems neither of us will know what will happen when a hurricane hits a windmill.
Unless you have something?
