[RE-wrenches] Wind machines

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar]

Cat 4 Hillary could overspeed a few props. Better check those torques. I 
had an old Four Winds on my Sailboat that is still spinning I am told.

Four Winds is long out of business but they were really tuff units and 
protected themselves reliably. Super loud and crank out the amps !

The storm below could impact weather severely in So Cal and minor 
effects up though Tahoe region and even PNW.  Friday !
