Urgent warning to 8 US states as bomb cyclone is expected to cause hurricane-like conditions

DailyMailUK-

An urgent weather warning has been issued for eight East Coast states with a bomb cyclone expected to unleash hurricane conditions in the region

Meteorologists predict that states from Maine to New York will see the worst impacts, with dangerous flooding and widespread power outages predicted to start on Wednesday evening.

A bomb cyclone is a meteorological term for a storm between the tropics and polar region that rapidly strengthens over a 24-hour period, often leading to considerable damage. 

This super-charged storm will bring wind gusts of up to 60 miles per hour, as well as torrential rainfall of eight inches in places, which will be amplified by an atmospheric river stretching 2,000 miles along the coast. more

  1. I hope friends to the north are OK this morning. Please let us know if we need to send St. Bernards with little brandy casks up there.

    We saw what I suppose was Phase 1 here in Sarasota County yesterday when we had an hour or two of unremarkable thunderstorms and rain. We’re quite used to that, just usually not in December.

  2. Isn’t this what used to be called “Nor’Easters?”

    Not to be confused with hurricanes that sometimes sweep that far north.

    Climate alarmism anyone?

    Be safe out there. sometimes the boy who cries wolf is right.

  3. @Uncle Al,

    Here in the Bronx it was a miserable day on Wednesday and it was so windy all night. Today is cold and windy but sun is out. Temps are suppose to stay steady in the low 40’s but more rain this weekend, I think. Will keep you posted!

    Say your prayers everyday!

    God Bless us all!

    The first article points to Ophelia, which want that big of a deal here in VA in September.

    The second points to a cyclone that hit the Western states in November.
