Synopsis:
When a cyclone sucks up Scrooge's entire fortune from an open corn crib and distributes the money all over the country, the old miser is surprisingly calm...

Comments:
Apart from the very puzzling fact that Scrooge has suddenly decided to 'air' all his money in an unguarded and easily accessible, giant crib, he has also neglected to think about the influence different types of weather can have on the open container. In this case a cyclone quickly empties the crib with remarkable results for the entire country!

Synopsis:
The nephews are owners of the racing pigeon Rocket Wing but Donald uses it for his own purposes...

Comments:
Barks made several stories, in which wind was the cause of wrecking ships and boats. This is one of them; due to a sudden typhoon Daisy and Donald are nearly killed at sea. Other examples can be found in FC0408 The Golden Helmet, FC0495 'The Case of Horseradish', MOC41 Race to the South Seas, and U$16 Back to Long Ago!

Synopsis:
Donald is the realtor for the old Quackly Place which is also a playground for the nephews. They have to prevent Donald from selling...

Comments:
One of their initiatives is to rent a colossal wind machine from a film company (talk about a huge film fan, uh?) and place it on different spots on the playground. Then Donald and an interested prospect are bombarded with assorted speeds of wind, shrubbery, sand, shaved ice, tadpoles(!), and roasted by hot wind resembling the Saharan simoon...

Synopsis:
Scrooge is pondering who shall inherit his business. Donald or Gladstone? He decides to put them to the test...

Comments:
Right in the opening splash panel Barks uses the narrative phrase It's an ill Wind that Blows Nobody Any Good thus setting the scene for the rest of the story. In it, Gladstone is left with a housemoving business, but he gets the job done thanks to - a good wind...

Synopsis:
Gyro has invented a cyclone warning machine and he decides to try it out at Cyclone Hill. Then he sits down and waits for a cyclone to appear...

Comments:
... but it is so tiny that Gyro does not even notice it! Still, he heeds the alarm, retreats to his storm cellar, gets knocked out, wakes up later - and discovers to his amazement that his house has been flattened in the meantime! By a Mother cyclone...

Synopsis:
Scrooge goes hunting for a mysterious gold-laden ship which sails without a crew. Donald tags along with his fishing rod...

Comments:
The story's title comes from an old tale about a Dutch captain who was renowned for the uncanny speed of his trips between Holland and Java, and was suspected of being in league with the devil because of it. During a storm at Cape of Good Hope the captain made a remark that he would not retreat, but would continue his attempt to round the cape even if it took until Judgement Day. For that blasphemous remark he and his ship were doomed to sail the high seas forever.

Synopsis:
Scrooge returns to a windy ghost town to find his old gold mine. But it changes location from day to day! Ghosts?

Comments:
As it turns out, a special wind sweeps over the desert area where the old ghost town of Pizen Bluff is situated. The wind is so strong that it simply skids the whole town around during the nights making Scrooge think that it is his old mine on a hillside that has moved...

Synopsis:
Scrooge fears losing all his money to the Beagle Boys and he asks Gyro Gearloose to find a safe hiding place. But how and where?

Comments:
Of course, Gyro finds a solution, but the caves he proposes as a hiding place turn out to be plagued with wild gusts of wind that render them useless for their purpose.
Despite the common and iterative subject Barks only made two stories with the word Wind in its title. The other one is a 1-pager in U$37 appropriately named The Windy Story...

Synopsis:
A crooked businessman figures if he can destroy the lighthouse on Cape Quack he will be able to buy the land - cheap. Donald tries to stop him!

Comments:
While on guard in the lighthouse a terrible storm is roaming, and Donald has to find a way to get a large steamer to steer free of the jagged cliffs. But the waves come up to the top of the lighthouse, so he quickly thinks of a novel solution...

Synopsis:
The JWs are depressed because school starts the next day, so they cannot be part of the movement full-time anymore. The nephews look through the JW Guide Book and find a rain dance that just might postpone the school start. But their dance produces a violent rainstorm...

Comments:
After his official retirement from comic book work in 1966 Barks scripted and sketched 24 stories for the Junior Woodchuck magazine HDL (see more HERE). In this very windy story the JWs are hurled around in a massive tornado along with all sorts of interior parts from houses as well as a live cow!
