New York City witnessed a bizarre and tragic incident when a woman was killed by a flying solar panel during a fierce nor’easter. The storm, which led to a state of emergency in both New York and New Jersey, served as a harsh reminder that weather can be as unpredictable as it is dangerous. Who would have thought that a panel used to harness renewable energy could turn into a lethal projectile? Talk about a twist in the green energy narrative!
While we typically think of storms bringing rain and wind, this one took a turn for the surreal. It’s enough to make you question the setup on your roof—are your solar panels securely fastened?
