The geologic processes that cause an earthquake have nothing to do with any atmospheric processes such as wind. So to answer your question, there is no reason for no wind during an earthquake. However, there are reports of strange lights that appear in the sky at night during, preceding, or after earthquakes. There is no scientific documentation of these lights but there is enough anecdotal evidence to warrant further investigation. One possible cause might be the piezoelectric properties of the mineral quartz which makes up about 75% of the Earth's crust. When quick bursts of pressure are applied to quartz crystals, they give off a small electric spark. This property is used in most propane gas grills. When you press the button to light the grill, a spring releases energy and strikes the quartz crystal causing a spark to pass from he crystal to a metal electrode. The gas passes through this spark and ignites.
