Case 2 – Vestas V82 wind turbines – 80 metre hub height – 82 metre rotor diameter. Closest @ 400m, 3 within 1 km, 10 within 2 km, 14 within 3 km. Wood frame structure home has been abandoned. Resident (adult female) unable to sleep, having hemorrhaging issues. Unable to maintain alertness to carry out normal employment when living in the home. !

Case 3 – Vestas V82 wind turbines – 80 metre hub height – 82 metre rotor diameter. Closest @ 500m, 3 within 1 km, 9 within 2 km, 18 within 3 km. Modern home with well insulated concrete walls. Resident (female, senior) described sleep disturbance, cognitive issues (like a mental fog, when in the house for a few hours). Had fallen several times due to dizziness. Resident no longer lives in home, but the home is unsold, and considered unsalable due to the need to disclose effects on the resident.

Case 4 – Vestas V82 wind turbines – 80 metre hub height – 82 metre rotor diameter. Closest @ 550m, 3 within 1 km, 10 within 2 km, 18 within 3 km. Resident of wood frame home (adult female) noted sleep disturbance, and vibration perceived while standing or laying down. A geologic item of note at this location is the presence of a ridge running from land into the floor of the lake that might be a factor in transmitting vibration. Resident eventually sold home at reduced price, and moved away.
