The Santa Ana Winds...

Ok... Matt's in Hawaii and I am cooped up at home listening to parts of palm trees break off and hit my windows... I hate the Santa Ana winds! I had never heard of these before until I moved down to HB a couple of years ago. When people first told me about them I thought they were completely crazy! I thought that just because it couldn't be 70 degrees and gorgeous all the time the locals down here conjured up this urban legend of a gust of wind that terrorizes inhabitants of Southern California. It seemed, at first, that around the same time each year people would begin to blame everything on the Santa Ana winds... if it was weather related or not. They were late to work: "it was the Santa Ana winds..." traffic on the 405 was bad: "it was the Santa Ana winds..." their baby won't sleep through the night... so on and so forth. However, the veil has been lifted and I have now become a believer! My front door step is covered in debris and as I previously mentioned, things keep flying and hitting my windows... I hate the Santa Ana winds.

Amen! I remember I used to blame the Santa Ana winds if my homework didn't get done...until El Nino came along. That was an even better excuse!
