Too Much Wind in Wales?

A 300 feet, £20m wind turbine has been snapped off by the wind (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/feb/15/storms-uk-weather-wind-turbine-blown-over-wales). The turbine was on a wind farm, near Bridgend in South Wales. Even stronger winds are forecast for the next few days in this region. It seems that you can have too much wind even for massive turbines.
