Posted by: Pouncer on October 29, 2003 05:35 AMSaw this the other day -- what a fantastic visual explanation of the Santa Ana winds. One can tell right away where they are most coherent and intense -- cutting through the San Gabriel/San Bernardino mountains at the Cajon Pass (which is the central plume for those of you not up on Southern California mountain ranges) -- and how the San Diego version is broader but not quite as concentrated, and the Ventura county version is relatively wimpy.
I grew up in the Ventura County mountains, and though people griped about the "Santyana", (I always wonder about that pronunciation, if any dialectologists are reading this), I don't remember it ever being severe enough for a kid to notice -- unlike the gales we get down in the "Inland Empire"!

Hang on. Some of those fires are over Hollywood. Aren't they more likely burning movie scripts?
