Dear Mr. McConnochie,<\/p>\n
This letter is in regard to my phone call to the Spills Action Centre on Oct 9 at 11:15 PM to file a complaint about noise from the Clear Creek wind farm. The situation got so bad that night I had to leave my house at 12:30 AM to sleep somewhere else.<\/p>\n
My entire house was vibrating along with all the contents, including me. I tried to lie down and sleep a few times, but got jolted awake with a full body twitch each time. My skull was resonating to the extent that I became swimmingly dizzy, even just sitting, with sharp pains developing in my head.<\/p>\n
I was nauseous, I was aware of my insides trembling, and to lay or even sit down against something vibrating at a different frequency was totally unbearable. I could feel my fingers tingling with the vibrations. My eyes started to blur, an indication of oscillating eyeballs. The only alternative was to get out, and I did so in tears.<\/p>\n
To have your body invaded with these vibrations is so very frightening. You just know exposure to these “sound waves” cannot be good for you.<\/p>\n
With all of this, I couldn\u2019t really “hear” anything except the low droning hum that I have described to you in other reports over the summer.<\/p>\n
I ended up sleeping on a couch in a house 20 km directly to the north of me, and as I did, I could still hear\u00a0and feel the deep, rumbling vibrations from the wind farm. These vibrations are similar to ones I\u2019ve felt produced from a power steamroller as it approaches my house.<\/p>\n
Seismic tremors have been recorded up to 10 miles from wind farms. Aside from measuring low frequency and infrasound in the dBC and dBG [?] scales, you need to find a way to measure seismic vibrations. The repercussions of these industrial wind turbines are reaching a lot further than anybody thinks, and they can\u2019t always be heard.<\/p>\n
This is what is doing the damage, what is affecting peoples\u2019 health. The swooshing sounds serve to aggravate the ILFN [infrasound and low frequency noise], pulsing it towards my house.<\/p>\n
That night, the lady at Spills Action Centre asked me how bad the situation was on a scale of 1 to 10. I can now say that it was a definite 10.<\/p>\n
Having to sleep in my truck, having to drive to somebody else\u2019s house in the middle of the night in order to escape, I now consider myself “homeless.” \u00a0This is criminal.<\/p>\n
