Were they turning at the time?

There’s a wind farm about 30 miles away from me in Waymart PA. I’ve seen the rotors turning at a decent speed; not hard to conceive of the tips of the rotors exceeding 100 mph. Remember that the outer edge of a rotor blade spins faster than the edges closer to the center.

“Were they turning at the time?” Lol, yeh the blades were turning. And, I’m quite aware that the outer tip of the blades rotate faster than the inner portion. Thanks for the “tip” 😉
