nwhile, a great commotion was taking place on top of Blue MMountain. For months, the controversy of a wind farm had ade headlines in theE-B and now it was finally completed.

The gusts created from the swirling blades were beginning to feel like a tornado. At 300 kms, it was decided that the trial had met with success and could be stopped but then disaster struck.

The wind farm would not shut off and only continued to gain additional speed. There was no

suddenly lifted from its' base. It rose in the sky, carried by the turbulent wind forces coming from the mountain, twirling and spinning as it continued upward.
