My favourite reference to the wind was in The English Patient, that conversation in the desert about all the words bedouins have to describe it.Verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09734733398990937504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23258949.post-1158649035768540832006-09-18T23:57:00.000-07:002006-09-18T23:57:00.000-07:00Thanks, Scott - We experience the Santa Ana's here...Thanks, Scott - We experience the Santa Ana's here, quite thoroughly, each year. It was interesting to find out they're really a fohn type of wind (and that the Europeans who experience this type of wind, actually have a name for the ill-humored behaviour it provokes!). I know I certainly don't look forward to its season, but now that I know what good it does for the oceanlife, I'll think of it a little more kindly, while battling to keep the doors closed.<BR/>Thanks for such an informative post and an interesting topic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23258949.post-1158620366158013812006-09-18T15:59:00.000-07:002006-09-18T15:59:00.000-07:00What a great post.

It is so strong that it if it is at your back, you feel it pushing you down the sidewalk. And if you're walking into, you literally have to lean into to the wind as you march onward.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for this post.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875496721000801632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23258949.post-1158465644247282272006-09-16T21:00:00.000-07:002006-09-16T21:00:00.000-07:00Interesting research, beautifully presented.

This is something I've been meaning to look up myself. The West Wind is a minor character in my first novel, and I expect other winds to make appearances in the sequal, which I am writing now, so this is really awesome information for me -- thank you!!Laini Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14064837312936707024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23258949.post-1158452419913381452006-09-16T17:20:00.000-07:002006-09-16T17:20:00.000-07:00Very interesting.

I thought it was fascinated--just like your post! Here in Boston we don't get a particular wind, but I have heard that Boston is the windiest US city--windier than Chicago even. I can attest to the fact that in the winter, that wind is mighty strong.Writer Bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18332064105213167179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23258949.post-1158451684990395452006-09-16T17:08:00.000-07:002006-09-16T17:08:00.000-07:00Fascinating piece - I've always liked the wind exc...Fascinating piece - I've always liked the wind except in the midst of a sandstorm in the Middle East; when walking down Chicago's Michigan Avenue in a snowstorm and of course when winds turn deadly, such as in tornadoes and hurricanes.
