2. Right click on your text layer and select Rasterize layer. Now go to Image > Rotate > 90 CCW . Now apply the wind filter (Filter > Stylize > Wind ) with the setting "wind" and "from the right". Do this 3 times. Now you need to rotate the image back to its original position (Image > Rotate > 90 CW).
