HOLIDAY BOMBER

More than a million United States power consumers were in the dark on Friday, Dec. 23, 2022 (Saturday in Manila) as a 'bomb cyclone' winter storm walloped the country, closing highways, grounding flights and causing misery for Christmas travelers. Over 200 million Americans were under weather warnings, as wind chills sent temperatures down as low as -55 Fahrenheit (-48 Celsius), according to the National Weather Service (NWS). By Friday afternoon the storm had acquired the status of 'bomb cyclone' after air pressure dropped precipitously over 24 hours. Bomb cyclones produce heavy rain or snow. They can also cause flooding at coasts, and generate hurricane-force wind.
