‘Bomb cyclone’ pummels fire-scarred California
TRT World says a powerful storm has drenched wildfire-scarred Northern California, triggering mudslides and flooding, while heavy winds toppled utility poles and downed trees in what meteorologists called a “bomb cyclone.”
Up to 10 inches (25 cm) of rain were expected to wash over the West Coast on Sunday, said meteorologist Marc Chenard of the Weather Prediction Center at the National Weather Service.
“It’s an atmospheric river already moving through Northern California,” he added, describing the storm as a “bomb cyclone,” an intense weather event when the barometric pressure drops quickly.
