so it brings, takes and mixes up strong winds everywhere. Explanation: A further suggestion. I think the antonyms traer and llevar need to be reflected in the translation by the use of antonyms in English Also that "arriba y abajo" refer to it happening "all over the place/eveywhere" rather than being adjectives for the winds. |

resulting in the ebbing and flowing/the to and fro movement and intermingling all over/up and down Explanation: Another way In such a way that it causes the strong winds to ebb and flow and intermingle all over |

in such a way that it comes and goes and swirls in the strongest winds Explanation: "it" referring to the mist previously mentioned, so the mist is mixing and swirling with the strong winds. I'm not keen on brings and takes as I don't think they sound at all natural when talking about wind/mist, although I do like the idea of reflecting antonyms |
