It might be useful for readers to know that the house, which is built on a bedrock called the Clear Creek Ridge that extends into Lake Erie almost to the Ohio shore, where Ellen is staying is surrounded by 18 Vestas 1.65 MW Industrial Wind Turbines erected in three groups of 6 IWT's all within a 3 km radius around the house. The closest IWT is 526 m, the next is ~ 573 m. An Acoustical Engineer measured vibrations which were below the audible sounds. Another A.E. found that the ambient vibrations in the basement were above the MoE regulations and when he touched the concrete base of the fireplace, the reading increased by 12 decibels.
