    I want to thank all of you for your answers. Since I live by the ocean and I observe heavy low-lying fog all the time, I can easily see how low-lying fog could be sucked or whirled up. At the same time, I definitely understand how air saturated at 99.99% humidity combined with an air foil and the Bernoulli effect could precipitate moisture (just like airplanes do). SO HERE IS MY ADDITION TO THE DISCUSSION: Perhaps the turbines spin faster than the wind that is propelling them; creating an air foil and disturbance of a low-lying fog layer that is just slightly evading disturbance by the natural wind flow.

    I believe what you referenced looks more like the below photo. Compelling and interesting as it may be, I believe this thread is about wind turbines.
    (Mad Dog, I like the creativity of your response. Nice.)
