Weather terminology can be intimidating, and terms like 'Bomb Cyclone' highlight the potential severity of storms affecting regions like Oregon and Northern California.
A Bomb Cyclone is defined scientifically by the term bombogenesis, where pressure drops rapidly - presenting the potential for powerful winds and heavy precipitation.
Despite its dramatic name, a Bomb Cyclone, while capable of producing severe weather conditions, typically does not cause damage on par with hurricanes.
As the current Bomb Cyclone impacts the Northwest, communities are experiencing torrential rains, heavy mountain snow, and high winds, with significant power outages reported.
