Ok, my Eastern US heritage is really going to show now......but what are Santa Ana's????

Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (1794-1876) is a major villan in Texas history. He was the Mexican general who stormed the Alamo and did in the brave defenders there. Word has it he was fond of pinto beans, and suffered their side effects. In the late 1800's, a settler in Southern California (who is believed to have had a relative familiar with the General) was amazed by the strong winds that blew down out of the coastal mountains from East to West. This individual is believed to have coined the name "Santa Ana winds."
