I too have seen plenty of activity over the years in very windy conditions. I've learned to believe faithfully that it's all about the barometric pressure. When the pressure drops before a storm activity is good, when the storm arrives and pressure bottoms out, it's baaaad. Then when it passes and pressure rises again it's good hunting. I might sound like a nut but I'm a firm believer in this. Where I hunt I've accually found that the most critter movement occurred when pressure is between 29.80 and 30.29, no matter what the wind is doing. That took quite a few years to come up with that. Call me crazy, but thats my opinion. Good luck man.
