And I wonder how many Floridians drove their gasoline, CO2 burning car or pickup to their golf course and then got into a gasoline burning Golf Cart, which has no pollution control equipment and emits max CO2. And then they scratch their heads at the 1st tee and wonder, "WHY THE HECK" has NATURE been acting SO strange FOR the last 5 years?
I believe hurricane force Santa Ana winds have been around at least since they were recorded in the 1840s and mentioned several times through California history. The unusual aspect is the new growth from too much rain last year. This too happens from time to time.
