Dis Thomas Shaffernacker (sp?) really say, during the weather

He also stated that the rain would be squally

What's wrong with that? Not all rain is squally.
Sometimes it just dribbles down for ages in a flat calm. At other
times it is brief and heavy and accompanied by a strong gusty wind.
This is a squall. He got it right. God knows there are enough sticks
to beat the man with without inventing false ones.
