Which is the correct answer?

Wind Absolutely

 

[AlexAD]

I went with the windy. Must be bad for me.

 

[murmunisttoi]

I chose "wind" because it sounds more natural!

 

[Mr.Ayed]

I chose " wind" because it is " blowing"

 

[thincat]

Because "wind" is a noun while "windy" is an adjective.

 

[michael147]

wind. wind blowing.

 

[GingerJoe]

as some body said earlier...
'wind' is a noun... eg. The wind is blowing.
'windy' is an adjective... eg. It is a windy day.

 

[GingerJoe]

... sorry to cause any confusion...
'some body' should read 'somebody'!

also, while I am here, 'somebody' is THE SAME as 'someone'!

 

[Maudit]

I chose wind, but it maight change according to the context

 

[clark_kent]

I chose "wind"

 

[Yiagos]

I chose wind

because the sentence starts with there's = there is and the verb is the word blowing in Present Continuous.

Re: I chose wind

Blowing itself also could be considered as a noun, meaning a storm or a blast of wind. In this case "strong" could be the adjective for "blowing".
However, semantically it seems odd!
So, I also voted for "Wind".

Re: both are right

Even if "blowing" is a noun, is it correct to say "a blowing"? A countable noun?

 

[Tdol]

Re: both are right

Not normally, no, but you may see a-blowing sometimes. A- is a prefix used before the present and occasionally past participles of some verbs to give it a rustic, poetic or archaic feel- it shows that it's incomplete, but with the present participle, this is unnecessary.

 

[Smartman]

windy can't be correct. Because it is adjective. In that sentience we have strong as sentence but we do not have noun at all.

 

[Matthew Wai]

I guess it should be "There's a very strong wind that is blowing" where "that is" can be omitted.
