A Texas Gulf Coast wind farm Papalote Creek with 196 turbines and megawatts enough to serve approximately 114,000 homes withstood sustained Harvey winds of 90 mph (a Category 1 Hurricane).

“What we learned from Harvey is that the design being used right now and the operating rules work very well”, the Wall Street Journal quotes a University of Colorado professor of atmospheric sciences,  Julie Lundquist
