storm Often Mi,named.

II is a curious fact that what is gen.
orally known in some Of the eastern
states as a northeastern storm Is in
reality. says Popular Mechanics. Of
quite a contrary origin. Because a
strong wind which frequently carries
heavy rain Is apparently driven from
northeasterly direction it is popular
~ assumed in n specific area that the
storm originates somewhere in north
eastern zone, while in truth its real
source Is In the west or southwest.
The explanation is that such disturb
