Sublette, IL. (ECWd) -

Below is an update with more pictures.

Earlier today a wind turbine in the Sublette area of the Wind Farm caught fire, and later one of the blades fell off - you can see the second fire in the pictures.

This is in the same area where a strong storm moved thru last night.

WIFR-TV has some pictures posted online as well (here).

THIS IS NOT BIG SKY WIND FARM!

    I’m wondering if the this was fall and the crops were dry – the fire spreads into the crops who pays for the damage the wind company or the farmers insurance. And would the farmers insurance go up because of the claim. Just wondering.

    This is not the Big Sky Wind Farm. It is another nearby project.
