SANTA ANA SMOKE
Powerful Santa Ana winds continue to hurt Southern California. In and downwind of mountain passes, winds have gusted over 60 miles per hour since Saturday. The highest reported gusts have been just over 100 miles per hour. October and November are big Santa Ana months, but usually the winds are not this strong. Here is a look at a satellite image showing the smoke from the fires in Southern California. The smoke looks just like clouds, but the formation and structure is different and clouds don't look like that on satellite images.
