Well, I see that I didn't introduce well my question and my need.

We want to examine an idea for a mobile gigantic wind turbine that should be placed at locations where storms are expected to come,few hours before the storm.

The prediction for such an activity is sufficient,we have the technology for mobilizing the turbine in time.

The question that remains is the feasibility:

we have to know wind's speed,duration,frquency and locations, we need clear data that will tell us that at a certain location is expected a storm within x hours,its wind speed will be y m/sec, the duration z hours.but before we have to know what are the prospects that such storms will occur.

Since I live in the middle east where storms are really rare.

Well, sir, you have asked the $64,000,000 question. There are a group of dedicated "storm chasers" here in the USA who have been working since at least the 1950's that I know of trying to predict that exact information. The best we can do at this time is to provide approxmately 15 - 30 minutes notice that a storm with winds in excess of 70 mph may occur somewhere within an area of several hundred square miles. We are good at using the Fujita scale to evaluate the wind speed that actually occurred, but if you want accurate prediction before the fact, you will have to consult another source. I would refer you to the description of a Fujita F-5 tornado: "the Finger of God". Only He knows where the exact location will be.
