I live in the SGV and we don't get them as badly as some areas do. We got a HELL of a wind two nights ago, though. I hate to say this because I know they can bring destruction (and spread wildfires), but I absolutely loved it...it was so spooky.
In the morning we had leaves everywhere. It was awesome.
I do have tombstones fall down all the time due to the Santa Anas...I just kind of assume on any given day leading up to H'ween that I'll be going outside to fix them, sometimes several times a day.
