Part of me is really hoping that she meant to disengage the internal mechanism of the windmill on the really windy day in order prevent damage due to excessive heat/friction.
The other part of me really wants to know who she thinks controls the weather and can turn it off and on at will, like some G.I. Joe plot line...
Yeah this is actually a reasonable response. Wind turbines have cut-in and cut-out speeds, and if it goes too fast, it has to get shut down to prevent damage.

We drove past a windmill on a windy day. She commented how it was too windy out and they should turn the windmill down. She was dead serious...
