I have obtained a copy of Bethany's "final" wind report. You can download it at http://www.effierover.com/downloads/ReportFinal.pdf
Don't know at this time if the town will offer it on their website (they usually do) or what the general reaction is.

Don't know how someone got a photo of ice throw in action, but they did.
Ice Throw Endangers Motorists

(Translated from German)
For Friday the air temperature is continuously under 3 °C and the humidity also over 90% measured. Thus definitely all conditions for ice throw were present.
I found the ice breaking into chunks up to 80 m distance from the rotor masts.
One of the photos shows fragments lying close within the proximity to a public road, smaller ice fragments lay on the road "Lammersstiege".
