On the off chance someone reading is feeling mildly irked by the bombastic language used to describe this fucked up weather, ysk 'bomb cyclone' is a technical term in use since the 50s and has a formal definition. TIL (and you can too!)
Or just scroll down OPs page to the Bomb Cyclone 101 link.
BC had gusts at almost 160 km/h from this beast yesterday and about 150K people lost power. At the last update I read, about 90K people were still in the dark.
We lost power since 1 am last night. Even though we're in a major city, we won't have it back till noon tomorrow.
Fingers crossed it's up and running again soon!
It came back at 7:45am. My housemate's father is one of the linesmen that pulled a 16 hour shift. Huge thanks to them!
