Don Miguel and the Roxas City Squall . . .

We've been experiencing the squall in Roxas City the past week, Christmas and New Year week to boot. But still, nothing beats being home for the Season.

A squall is a sudden, sharp increase in wind speed which is usually associated with active weather, such as rain showers, thunderstorms, or heavy snow. Squalls refer to an increase in the sustained winds over a short time interval, as there may be higher gusts during a squall event. They usually occur in a region of strong mid-level height falls, or mid-level tropospheric cooling, which force strong localized upward motions at the leading edge of the region of cooling, which then enhances local downward motions just in its wake. - ( www.wikipedia.com )
