“A few years ago an Israeli physicist discovered that not only during such winds, but for the ten or twelve hours which precede them, the air carries an unusually high ratio of positive to negative ions. This exemplifies the Santa Ana winds being theoretic because no one seems to know why this happens, we simply don’t know if this is a coincidence or if the winds actually cause this along with the unusual behavior that is associated with it. She also introduces the idea of Santa Ana winds being theoretic by mentioning things such as “To live with the Santa Ana is to accept, consciously or unconsciously, a deeply mechanistic view of human behavior.” This quote sort of goes along with the last one as it talks about human behavior and how it is unknown why the winds influence or provoke things such as violence, bad moods, and
