Death from slightly above

Anyone who has driven north from Shelburne recently probably has noticed the huge windmills looming ominously over the countryside. At first I thought they were cool, and they are definitely better than burning coal. But soon I got to thinking, maybe there's another, more sinister reason for them to be there. I watched war of the worlds recently; there is a scene where you see dozens of these large three legged machines razing a city. There is an obvious physical resemblance between these three legged machines and the three bladed windmills. Now, I'm not saying that someday these windmills are going to rise up against humanity. . . or am I?
Imagine the damage they could do.

The attack would start when the windmills engage the rockets that are obviously hidden in the towers, and the windmills (hereafter referred to as Deathmills) would cruise around wiping out entire towns in a matter of minutes. The razor sharp blades would not only slice apart anything unlucky enough to be caught in their way, but when the deathmill redirects power to spin its blades, it could blow down all but the strongest of buildings. These blades are huge people! Here is a picture to give you an idea of the scale.
There are thousands of these thing all over the world, they could easily pacify even the most powerful army.

That's not even the scariest part.

The deathmills are all controlled by a secret underground organization run by an evil triumvirate of these three people 1,2,3.
Jimmy Carter seems so non-threatening, but I think he's got something to hide. We would be helpless against the combined powers and phat rhymes of the triumvirate.

Within 12 hours the world would be in a panic, most of the major power generating stations would be off-line due to the enormous power surge the deathmills would create just before the attack. FEMA would kick into high gear, making a terrible disaster . . . at least no worse than it is already.

24 hours into the attack most of the worlds major cities will have fallen, except Ottawa because the attackers will assume that Toronto is the Canadian capitol. Governments will become disorganized (wink). and there will be pandemonium in the streets.

By 36 hours into the attack most people in major population centers will be dead and the deathmills will start sweeping the globe to destroy the remaining people that have managed, up until this point, to escape detection. After a short sweep the deathmills will congregate in about 50 different locations around the globe and use their wind generating abilities to blow the warmer air near the surface into the upper atmosphere creating devastating storms, which would paralyze the remaining human resistance to the machines.

By 48 hours into the attack all hope would be lost were it not for a unlikely band of demographically diverse teenagers who accidentally stumble upon the machines one and only weakness. Which coincidentally has also been known to defeat Pterodactyls.

The world will be safe from attack for the time being, but the damage will already have been done. The earth will need to be repopulated (the teenagers should have no problem with that), and primitive societies will rise and fall as humans begin to spread once again over the face of the earth.

These events may seem like the ramblings of an idiot to many people, but when the attack comes will you be ready?
