I will show you how to create a good wind text effect using photoshop like the one below. Start by creating a new document size 500X300 and fill it with black,then use text tool to add your text in canvas ( I use white color ). Now duplicate the text layer and go to the original layer and go to filter > stylize > wind , then use the following options. Press ctrl + f to repeat the filter,go to filter > stylize > wind again but this time make the wind from left then press ctrl + f to repeat the filter.

Here is how your image should look like after wind effect. Now you need to apply this effect to top and bottom of text but unfortunately photoshop doesnt have a built in function to do it itself, so we will rotate canvas 90 degrees CW by using Image > Rotate Canvas > 90 CW, after that apply the wind effect from left then press ctrl + f to repeat,then do the same thing to apply it from right and repeat, then rotate canvas 90 CCW, here is the result you should have.

Now go to blending options and set color overlay (Red) for first layer and after that, drag down your duplicate text layer to first layer.

This is a final results for your wind text effect using photoshop
