A historic storm described as a 'bomb cyclone' slammed the U.S. Northwest on Tuesday, unleashing fierce winds and torrential rains that knocked out power, toppled trees, and triggered flood alerts. The Weather Prediction Center warned of 'excessive rainfall risks' as the strongest atmospheric river of the season barreled into California and the Pacific Northwest.
Why it matters: This storm isn’t just another rainy day—it’s a rapid-intensifying weather monster (officially, a bomb cyclone forms when pressure drops 24 millibars in 24 hours). Areas from southern Oregon to northern California, including San Francisco, face the brunt of the chaos.
Residents reported downed power lines and flooded roads overnight, with emergency crews working overtime. "This is one of the most significant systems we’ve seen in decades," a meteorologist stated, urging people to avoid travel.
What’s next: Officials warn of lingering risks, including landslides in fire-scarred zones. Stay updated via local alerts and stock essentials!
