I missed the connection. Must be a regional thing ;-)

I doubt it refers to the the Tehuano winds. I don't recall that reference
in regard to the Sudden Onset Tostitos. I believe the "tostito" usage came
about after Skipper mentioned encountering "sudden onset" high winds a few
times while claiming to be in the Gulf of California, and some wag here
made the Mexican food reference.

IIRC, at least once he referred to it as a "sudden, unexpected hurricane".

Although he obviously didn't mean that literally, many of us didn't let him
off the hook.

That sounds close to what I foggily remember.
