Cecil,  I can tell you this and it's easily verified,  here in eastern NC 
when
storm fronts (not hurricanes) come through they generally come from the S/W.
Nothing is new about that, it's our prevailing wind but for the last 30 
years or
more EVERY TIME we get a line of severe storms (tornado producing stuff) it
moves in from down south, gets to I-95 and runs straight up it.   Look at 
the radar
anytime you see that eastern NC is having really bad T-storms and you'll see 
the
line or storms directly over I-95.  Why?  My guess is because it's a heat 
engine with
all of the traffic.  That heat is stopping the storm line from crossing over 
and going
further east.  Yes it eventually does but not until it cools the interstate 
down sufficiently.
Darrell Waltrip has said many times that  the short track NASCAR venues make 
their own
weather.  Once the race starts it can rain all around the track but the 
track tends to stay
dry because of the heat column coming up.

I don't know why that mass of windmills couldn't have a similar effect.

Never thought about those Windmills, we have a bunch of them just 3
miles from here.  Been sorta dry for ( Moderate drought by NWS ) a strip
of central OK that sorta parallels that Wind farm and then fans out
some.......     Really interesting...  Never prove it even if it was true...
