Who photographs the wind. I need some ideas because it isn't going to stop blowing no time soon.

wind farms, turbines, storm clouds, tornadoes, rain sheets, inverted umbrellas, skydiver faces, lip movements...just a few that come to mind

Find a smoke generator of some sort, and capture the way the wind makes is swirl around.
Like a vapor trail in a wind tunnel. Try putting objects in the trail, and see how it effects it.

Those are nice. First day off work an expected high wind again but right now its not blowing. Cold as crap tho.

Rick, thats a weird looking thing, never seen one.

Ricardo, thats nice also, regular clouds over the mountains and the blowing clouds up high.

Oh yes please do, Makes me wish I could have got out yesterday. I know a beautiful field down the road. Now the wind died down but it will be back soon enough.
