Deadly ‘Bomb Cyclone’ Smashes Pacific Northwest

Intense winds smashed the Pacific Northwest on Wednesday morning as a strengthening low-pressure storm system, known colloquially as a “bomb cyclone,” moved in from the Pacific Ocean leaving chaos and at least one person dead in its wake along with mass power outages.

The rare storm system combines heavy rain with high wind to create what scientists call as an “atmospheric river.”

The phenomenon also known as “bombogenesis” could intensify so rapidly in the Pacific Northwest over the next 24-hours it has the potential to become a “triple-bomb” three times the strength of a regular bomb cyclone, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in San Francisco.

The 2024 Landslide election and now “da Climate Channel’s” Double Triple MX-6000 Deadly Cyclone Bomb. The Wet People of the NW just can’t get a break.

Umm...no. Stuff gets blown everywhere...storm drains overwhelmed.

Snowing in Northern Idaho. Looks like winter out there.

hat tip to the worker bees in the upper worlds for coordinating the number for this thread.

It is rather sixy...

1 dead. (Tree fell on them)

I live up in that area and I heard the rain hitting the side of the house kinda hard for a couple of minutes last night, and that’s it.

We never lost power at all. I know lots of people up north of us did.

PT had 61 mph winds

The December 2008 storm was the worst I ever lived thru. Power was out for 2 weeks, could not drive to down Tiger Mountain to Issaquah-Hobart Rd because 30 trees were down between me and it. Fortunately, I had a generator installed 3 days before the storm.

Thanks so much for the reality check Mr. Humor Challenged.

Itsa joke, son.

[Tom Tetroxide]

I think we’re supposed to all die again.

[ConservativeMind]

…And the needles.

[mabarker1]

Are Y’All OK over and up there ???

[SkyDancer]

Yep, it missed the Olympic Peninsula and slammed into the Seattle area - we’re okay here. Thanks for asking. J xx

[gundog]

Yeah...Dark, howling winds, 100-plus foot tall trees, saturated ground. The west coast isn’t all the poop-covered streets of San Francisco.

The triple bomb cyclone, not to be confused with the triple dog dare bomb cyclone.

And not to be issued without first going through the bomb cyclone, double-dare bomb cyclone, and double-dog-dare bomb cyclone. We don't need any breaches of etiquette, no matter how slight.

[Keyhopper]

In Florida we call it Wednesday

Fortunately, I had a generator installed 3 days before the storm.

Excellent timing! 🙃

It makes simple sense, doesn't it though?

“triple-bomb” three times the strength of a regular bomb cyclone

Most Welcome 🙏
