New tornado watch in southern WI.

How much wind does it take to do this level of damage to wind turbines?
At least a few miles per hour

No idea, not sure if there’s anything for wind turbines in the EF scale
Wonder if June First will do some estimates for fun

Minnesota warning right on top of my home stomping grounds. Ugh.

I’m surprised how little info is coming out of Greenfield.
To damage the blades won't take nearly the level of wind as collapsing/crushing the tower.

That's usually bad news
Probably a bad sign after that radar signature. Sometimes that happens when a bad tornado deveatstes a area

Correct. Not what I was trying to hint at, but the only example of EF-rated windmill damage I could think of off the top of my head.

Those trees in the far right seem to be almost to completely debarked.

I thought that might have been a pavement scour, but that might be some road work.
