Perfect scene for ghost stories, Martia.
venere08: though you would think high winds are welcomed on a wind farm.
he repairs the turbines and if any work is required on the outside of the turbines even tho they wear a saftey harness it becomes to dangerous with the wind being that strong.

No, I figured that part Faithe...spare the thought of anyone working in such conditions. Glad he's safe.
Where I am here in Puglia, lots of strong winds too. Wind farms dot the countryside on entry into the region... My first night last March, I was alone, gale force winds howled all night, power blackout, thunder, lightning. Rained so hard, the roof leaked near the chimney and water flooded in...oh the fun!
pebbles8bambam: yeah now all i hav to do is find a woman that will stay after dark to enjoy it with lol

Sounds like you had a rather horrid night...

Well, it was so unlike anything I'd ever experienced, being in a strange place all on my own, that it felt as if I was in a movie. Which is probably why I wasn't the least bit scared. Just had to deal with it.

You got me concerned so I just rang my parents in Adelaide. No mention of any winds, just of rain. We do get lots of gale force episodes there the last few years. I have a huge river red gum in front of my place(in suburb not acreage). Whoever planted it should be given a real talking to up in heaven.
