Watched CNN on Friday on the wildfire story in California, and the weatherman and reporter were both talking of the Santa Ana winds [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_ana_winds] as “Santana winds”.
There does seem to be a dispute (http://www.ocalmanac.com/Weather/we23.htm) but those who know better say “Santa Ana winds” or “Santa Anas”. —mr
