----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Video coming soon from residents. We received their first text at 7:39 PM.
It is an IBERDROLA Renewables wind turbine.
"This turbine is located about 1.5 miles from Mr. Young’s house. This was Sunday early evening. A few of us jumped in our cars and went to take a look. Fire crews were acting “traffic control only”. Iberdrola trucked showed up after fire crews left. The turbine was still burning but Iberdrola left. Winds picking up and bad weather a comin’. The blades are free turning right now, we will see what happens if the tornado watch turns ugly in the Odell area tonight. "
Good thing corn is not about ready for harvest.....could be a rural disaster.

Posted at 06:45h, 25 MayVery good point about the corn harvest.
But, hey, you’re in Illinois. A progressive state. In a few years, there will
probably be a couple of wind turbines who will want to
marry each other. And, the Illinois General Assembly will approve it!
