Oh, the humanity: Everything was OK until it got really windy

3 turbines crash after blades from one break
The three turbines were installed Jan. 23 as part of major renovations designed to save on energy bills in Perkins Local Schools.

The turbines' electrical connections were hooked up and ready on Wednesday to begin generating power for the school, its field house and maintenance shop, and nearby Briar Middle School.

However, Saturday — with winds gusting out of the south — was the first day truly windy enough to test the machines.
