#BombCyclone #Northwest #ExtremeWeather
3 days? Um NOAA say 7 days and 15 inches up here in the foothills
Yeah 3 days Ryan in fort Bragg California is like 100% rain almost but the rest of the week is 60 to 40%. Still it’s a lot of rain
They closed I 80 and I 84 do to high winds.
Sigh, ok.
The judgment of The Most High!
Superstitious nonsense.
Snoop Dog?
God needs to try harder. Rain and snow is pretty lame. Send us an asteroid or 9.5 earthquake accompanied by a nice tsunami and I’ll be impressed.
welcome to global warming
😂😂You almost sound serious!!😆
If it doesn’t rain, y’all say global warming and when it does rain, ya’ll say global warming.
@@rich531Ok, time for a lesson on weather vs. climate. Climate influences weather patterns indirectly but weather is influenced by many factors. You could say weather is applied climate. I hate the term ‘Global warming’ even though it is accurate. You have a snow event and people say “well, I guess global warming is wrong”. But what I hate more than that is terms like “bomb cyclone”. It’s called weather and it’s seasonal variances. Everything has to be a superlative.
@@rich531 anthropgenic climate change is more accurate.
Climate experts are paid shills saying what they’re told.
Hundreds of sousands. Why does this guy sound like an meteorologist from South Park?
Next will be the “super dooper end of the world storm” according to these news alarmists.
This cyclone is the bomb, tho.
no one said its the end of the world. stop being hyperboic.
Well that’ll take care of those fires
Someone will claim the fire is Bill Gates rain and the fire still burns. like the snow in Texas a few years back claimed it wouldn’t melt.
A bomb cyclone hits the bottom of my toilet sometimes.
weird Could have sworn your station just was saying that the hurricanes were the worst they have ever been because the The HOT waters?? Where would this BOMB cyclone be coming from ? not hot waters?? amazing that the oceans can change Temperatures so rapid when the news tells it. how ever the temp in my pool in my back yard is still the same temp it was on the so called hottest day of the year.. i guess trillions of tons of water has a biger chance to change temps some how?
We better get that snow in Tahoe or heads will roll.
I live in fort Bragg on the coast of California and it’s been raining for over 24 hours. It’s not that bad but the wind gusts are kind of worrisome. Luckily all the rainwater just drains to the ocean and we’re on a lot of slopes so we won’t get flooded.
Hope the slopes hold on and don’t slide. Stay safe!!!
It’s called winter. It’s never happened before.
If there is a LOT of Rain….GLOBAL WARMING & CLIMATE CHANGE.!! A Drought ?….. Global Warming & Climate Change!… Freezing Clod Winter or Mild Winter?…GLOBAL WARMING and CLIMATE CHANGE! Extra Hot or Mild Summer…Global Warming & Climate Change! THANK GOD Wind Mills and EVs will SAVE US ALL! BRING on the CARBON TAX!!😂😂🤣🤣🙄🙄
Let the government keep messing with the weather
Another conspiracy theorist has entered the fray.
@@Allen-fi4kethere are literally methods of weather manipulation patented and in use. But go on…
@@Allen-fi4keyou do realize the U.S. government is on record saying they manipulate the weather right. Sometimes it helps to think for oneself instead of blindly trusting the media.
@@notbeyonce they cant create and control big storms like this. a bit of cloudseeding to increase rain in an already existing system is the extent.
Animal agriculture is the main cause of climate collapse. Eat a plant based diet and help save our future.
Mabye its the way they report a winter storm or maybe It’s like the election…Democrats not realizing that people are sick and tired of inflation/the economy yet they choose to put Biden up and when that doesn’t work they choose Harris; whereas, if they were tuned into reality they would have chosen an entire different candidate who actually had a legit shot of winning. It’s the cold weather months people, this weather is expected. geez
Well I hate but here in Western N.C. it will take years to recover from Helene. Media has ended any news about us. Not there agenda. Gobs of lives lost here.
Who coned bomb ciyclone never heard of it.
Quit fear mongering
just you.
This will help to push the scam. Is there a vaccine for this?
this is truly the comment of all time
Remember when Biden actually said, “the best way to prepare for the hurricane is to go get yourself vaccinated”?😂 I’ll bet he doesn’t remember.
Fear mongering.
reporting the facts of what has happened is fear mongering. truly one of the great minds of our time, you are
@ “bomb cyclone” and “atmospheric river” are new words to sell newspapers. Smarten up.
@@thosearentpillows5638 they arent “new.” do some research. get educated and stop being such whiny brat.
I understand this is a meterological term, but seeing bomb on the news nowadays might cause a person to panic
facts
Agreed, bad terminology.
‘Nuclear Rain’ There I made up another one.
We still in the cold war?
I saw Lester and realized this must be fake news.
Sensationalized. That’s the only way they get viewers.
Except Lester is not the only one reporting on this bomb cyclone phenomena. Sometimes the main stream news does get it right sometimes and without needing to sensationalize it. By the very nature of what a bomb cyclone is it IS a big deal.
Remember when it was just called a ‘Storm’. Don’t get as many clicks with “A wet storm is hitting the West coast”. Lol
Now it’s: “A tornado of river wind monster cyclone storm deluge disaster destroys the West coast!”
Yeah seriously it’s ridiculous
stop complaing about terminology adapting and being more specific. “a strom” is too vague.
@rodintremboy6459 A bomb is not accurate.
@@atdi72 it is in the context of the meteorological terminology. you know words can have different uses and definitions in differnt contexts right?
@rodintremboy6459 No I didn’t know that. You are missing the point fella.
We’re Next California..The Fires weren’t enough to push us out. 😓 Since weather Manipulation is still a new science, I’m sure they’ll eventually get HAARP technology down.. I wonder though if the Big Earthquake will happen after record rain falls and landslides with sinkholes. Will California shake towards the Pacific Ocean?🤔👀
SKY BORN RIVER? YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY. THESE STORMS ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN THIRTY YRS AGO. JUST A BIG RAIN/SNOW, IT HAPPENS.
Oh stop it with the stupid term, “atmospheric river”!!! Don’t you know how rivers come about? I learned that in 6th grade elementary school.
We got light rain here. Are they trying to scare us again?
Since you don’t say where “here” is your comment is meaningless. Sorry, truth is what it is.
Gotta make every storm sound more severe than the last so as to sell the whole climate change fiasco. Be afraid, be very afraid.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 why is it meaningless? Obviously I live in part of the affected area. I’m not putting my address out there to prove something to you.
@@jacklowe9017 It is never about putting your address out there because it’s common sense not to. But to at least provide a general location as to where you are provides context to your comment. Without a general location that does make a comment meaningless. I always thought that was part of the reason for commenting on something where my general location provides some context to what I am commenting about.
you understand that not every region is going to be affected the same amount right?
got to have sign to tell you a fn storm is happening no wonder clump was voted in geez
Fake news because real news doesn’t exist anymore even with weather .
Headlines ftl. Fear monger tactics SMH
West coast. My interest or care level is hovering around absolute zero.
Prep in the summer for what winter brings, folks. Don’t get caught empty-handed.
Lester Holt needs to go , his negative comments should not be forgotten
So glad climate change is a big hoax
Remember when news reporters were educated individuals who actually did research and told the truth in stories they presented. Now they just use verbs that create panic . The media is nothing more than fear mongers. My favorite is when they do a story on bullying. They are the bullies .
Could you please stop this ridiculous weather stupidity
There might be paper cups, flowing into the storm drain oh my God
Laugh in hurricane 🌀
Hyperbole, much?
Here comes winter to match the hurricanes this year. Hold on humans the ride is gonna get way bumpier!!!!!
Let’s see if our government treats the liberal state of California the same way they treated the hurricane victim’s in North Carolina 🙄
This is an unhinged title
NBC IS A JOKE
WIND SEEMS NORMAL RAIN WASN’T BAD ,SAME AS A COUPLE YEARS AGO
When mentioning Washington state is getting hit with what was shown, that was completely not true. That was western and some middle Washington. The fact this was evening news using the same news story this morning would be a bit unactual using evening time. Eastern Washington, where I live, had none of this. Only certain parts of middle eastern and eastern Washington had high winds and some snow. Should I had lived in my original state of Tennessee having friends or family in Washington state, using this report, I would have been worrying, when stating the state of Washington.
As if Cyclone aint bad enuff when you add “Bomb” to the description of the Weather front headed toward you it is gonna give you a moment of pause and concern…I wonder what is worse, a “Bomb Cyclone” or a C4 Hurricane?
Preppers would be your worst nightmare than rain they will buy too much from stores never thinking others might need those things too.
That’s why smart peepers don’t prep the day before a storm.
So when is anyone gonna do anything about Republicans destroying our planet?
That’s right, Jerry.
And yet the smaller but locally just as deadly…hand grenade cyclone get no luv???
Wash out the evil!
God about to punish the west Coast for there demonic behavior and voting blue.
So how many of the people commenting are actually on the West Coast?
Probably not many. My area finally got cell service back after 30 hours of either no signal or emergency calls only. Still in complete darkness along with most of the county
Unprecedented!😂
“Bomb Cyclone” “Atmospheric River”
Gotta love these media-created fear mongering terms
Are democrats going to tell them to move like they did the hurricane victims
It didn’t reach us but I am sorry for the areas it did hit!
