There are things you can do to make riding in windy conditions less hairy, but there's also a point where it doesn't matter who you are or what you're riding and intense winds can be unsafe.
The simplest and most helpful advice I've come across is to keep your elbows/shoulders loose. Wind is generally more likely to move your torso than your bike. If your arms are tense (in scary winds, it's natural) then your moving torso is going to also move the handlebars, which then steers the bike. Keep your arms loose and your body can wiggle in the wind without affecting your steering.
