Santa Ana winds with a vengeance

For some strange reason ,now, these winds seem to be vengeful, not just a result of atmospheric conditions. The wind has been blowing strong since yesterday.  I can smell and taste the dirt particles.  I'm feeling a slight headache.  My eyes feel itchy.  The dusty air feels warm.  I saw small trees knocked over yesterday.  Not giant trees but small little trees.  When the wind blows over a large tree it makes the wind look strong and powerful, when the wind  knocks down a small tree it makes the wind look like a bully.
