TV people seldom know what they are talking about these days. They just blather away. For example, back when you got the news by radio (wireless for the UK folk), California had what was called a Santana wind named for a Mexican general who used the tactic of unexpectedly sweeping down out of the hills and making things hot for those in the valley just as the wind does. Then the TV news people renamed it the Santa Anna wind. This year, it became the Santa Anna event.
