All power to the shields!!??
On the news and headed my way by tomorrow: a genuine ' Bomb Cyclone'
It's been cold and raining all week, with severe flooding and evacuations; but this is ominous: Huge waves and 70+ mph winds. It's not an Atmospheric River or the Pinaapple Express this time; but is akin to a hurricane. There is one dead so far from a treefall on a vehicle.

A bomb cyclone, also known as bombogenesis, is a storm that intensifies very rapidly when air pressure drops at least 24 millibars within 24 hours1234. This can happen when a warm air mass collides with a cold one. As the air rises in the atmosphere, wind spirals in at the base of the storm. The lower the pressure, the stronger the storm..In a season of weather oddities, a new phrase was added to local vocabulary Tuesday afternoon. It's called the "Fujiwhara Effect" and is the interaction between two similarly sized low-pressure centers rotating around a common center.
