They are NOT Santa Ana winds. They ARE Santana winds, meaning Devil winds.

Hate America first groups, need a job, set a fire.
I was in Oregon in the sixties and they were doing the same thing.

Do you mean that as a play on words or what the winds are really called?

They are NOT Santa Ana winds. They ARE Santana winds, meaning Devil winds.You are soooo wrong.....it's Santa Ana winds....and it's always been Santa Ana winds.
I lived those winds for years.....Great off-shore winds...with a swell they were awesome.

As I said to others...I lived there several years and the locals, including my wife's family who was from the area at the time, all called them "Santa Anna" winds. Living in Fontana for several years near the mouth of Cajon Pass, that's what they were called by everyoine we knew...including people who'd been there for generations.

They’re called the Santa Ana winds, nicknamed “murder winds”.
To: SootyFoot2
Santa Ana winds may get their name from the Santa Ana Mountains in Orange County, the Santa Ana River or Santa Ana Canyon, along which the winds are particularly strong. There are also claims that the original form is Santana winds, from the Spanish vientos de Satán ("winds of Satan", Sanatanas being a rarer form of Satanás), and that this in turn is a translation of a native name in some unspecified language.

Someone needs to write CNN and Al-Reuters and tell them to get with the program. An arsonist is out on the loose and they refuse to post that information.

They are NOT Santa Ana winds. They ARE Santana winds, meaning Devil winds.Wrong. Those of us who grew up with these winds have always referred to them as Santa Ana Winds. They were called Santa Ana winds long before I was born.
There was a desert wind blowing that night. It was one of those hot dry Santa Anas that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge.

Dear Sooty, After living in So. Cal. for 40 years of my life, I can tell you that you are wrong. The winds are called Santa Anas; not Santanas. They are devilish all right, and they are destructive. Just in case you would like to read about the SANTA ANA winds, here's an article.

No, they’re called “Santa Ana winds.”
