WOULDN'T THAT MAKE IT A HURRICANE? Actually 73+ MPH is a hurricane. We get that all the time below the passes when we have a "Santa Ana" (or "santana") condition. (beaufort scale info) http://www.marinewaypoints.com/marine/wind.shtml

"Sant'ana" is a colloquialism.
And, yes, you bet they can be hurricane force gusts!
