Wind: Concerning Windmills and Nor'easters

Electricity is a major problem in Nor'easters.  A Nor'easter is a deadly combination of hurricanes and blizzards making it a electricity hazard.  But, since a Nor'easter produces a massive amount of wind, can't we harness the wind in a windmill and use it to create electricity in the darkness?
As you can see above the Nor'easter is demolishing the Eastern part of Pennsylvania, where I'm from.
That is why I'm concerned about the electricity.  Today all the windmills you can buy are very, very expensive and are also not durable enough for hurricane force winds.  If you watch the video below you will see that a commercial sized windmill can be torn apart in high winds.  If that doesn't work for you here ya go. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlsJA9rcHOs

I plan, with my team to create a cheap durable windmill kit that can withstand winds exceeding ∞.  Of course that is a bit of an exaggeration but, go hard or go home.
