The question is too vague to answer well, but I have run a high autonomy household for 10 years, so it’s possible. Solar with battery storage, small wind generator to supplement things during storms. Heating uses wood.
Latitude 59, so I get an electrical energy crisis every winter, but on most winters, I don’t have to start a gasoline generator or bring electricity over with my e-car.
If you’re on a lower latitude, it becomes simpler, if you only have enough surface for solar panels.
Its true, storms are when our normal wind turbines fail us, or we stop using them while we shield them somehow from the worst of it. I thought about this recently also, and I came to the conclusion that a single wind-wing pivoting on the top of a pole could be made to pump a generator inside the pole. It would only pump up and down, but it would seem to be able to weather hurricane force winds and still remain functional. What do you think?
No. Also, I apologize for being a bit rude, but what would you gain from having a video of a home wind generator working? There’s probably thousands of such videos on the Internet.
Small wind turbines work by having blades that spin a shaft connected to a generator (usually with magnets and coils) that converts the rotational energy into electricity - you can find some great comparisons of home wind generators on gearscouts.com if youre looking for emergency power solutions with the best watt-hour value.

Do you have any video showing how wind energy can be utilised during storms ?

I would like to see how a home wind generator creates electricity, particularly the mechanism.
Here’s a reasonably representative photo.

Exotic, rare, not representative of everyday things.
