Yes, please give us some pictures or videos of the problem. The gusts do not make more turbulence in storms. That they need to add that simulations to be in the sim or it’s very limmited in the sim right now. Storms make turbulence because of the high difference in the preassure in the air because of the uneven heating of the earth. Gusts adds fluctuating wind speed horizontally that comes from frictions on the ground mostly. Gusts usually adding more unpredicted landings over runway when landing, taking off & on approach. At higher altitudes it should be less gusts. Gusts are also formed in those storms you mention but i don’t think it’s that you looking for here. I think you mean the up&downdrafts that are created when real high preassure and real low preassure collides and creates those big up&downdrafts you mentioning.
Windsetting that you see in the settings is the avarage measured windspeed. Gusts should be the highest value of that measured windspeed and always set that value higher than the wind to be realistic. Gust per minute is how many gusts you will have in a minute. The gust per minute slider i mostly set at between 1-5 because if i set them higher the gusts will be to frequent to be noticable. Mostly the wind-direction and gust-direction should be the same. It can be varied too but that will make it real hard to fly as it is in real life too. Above 5000ft/agl i would recommend to set gusts to 0 because there it should not be much gusts to get it realistic.
I think they need to have some learning about things in the sim to make us learn about things while using the sim. Otherwise we will complain about things that actually is correct. I didn’t know about these things before i noticed the gusts was gone from the sim.
I think you should vote on this to have those storm turbulence.
There is also a bug in the custom weather settings that sets the wind and gusts speed at 50% on groundlevel that you can vote on here.
The thing i would have improved with the gusts my self is that the gusts gradually decreases the higher above ground we are like the windspeed is increasing the higher we are and also want it back in live-weather. And if they could make the wind fluctuate naturally without any inputs but that requires them to simulate the whole worlds weather/frictions in real time because gusts are dependent on so many different things.
This is a video i made yesterday with gusts and i think it looks&feels realistic with gusts. Not the best landing though 
It’s much more challenging now with gusts.
