| #13 bomb cyclone is any non tropical storm where the central pressure drops by 24 mb in 24 hours happens off the east coast sometimes frequently in the gulf of Alaska, less common off the Calif coast not every 'bomb cyclone' has an atmospheric river with it; as implied by Frank G, if the storm gets closer to the tropics it is more likely to tap into the moisture there |

| #12 "Derecho" was trendy for a while there. Probably canceled for cultural appropriation offense. |

| #11 The "atmospheric river" is the jet stream dipping low enough to suck in normal Pacific Ocean moisture. If it sources all the way to Hawaii, it's the "Pineapple Express". If it's too complicated for sub-genius reporters it becomes a "bomb cyclone" because that sounds cool and they're too stupid for real weather, which happens all the time = "Climate Change". |

| #10 Maybe the folks in Seattle can provide some insight into constant rain. And Gavin, don't forget with the rains will come plant growth and with plant growth. If you don't cut back the plant growth the state burns up in the late summer. Don't act suprised. |

| #8 Funny how you never heard of 'Atmospheric Rivers' until this year and the herculean push for the 'Climate Change' narrative. I don't think that was a term until a few weeks ago. |

| #6 And, of course, whether it rains or not it's a crisis. Never let a crisis, real or imaginary, go to waste because that's a great way to get more federal dollars. It's also a great excuse to raise taxes on the rubes and exercise more control over their lives. |

| #5 If it rains, it's climate change. If it doesn't rain, it's climate change. All things are possible for Democrats. |

| #4 It's a climate emergency when it doesn't rain. It's a climate emergency when it does rain. I'm seeing a pattern here. |

| #3 I wonder how much China's reliance on coal and all that resultant particulate floating above the Pacific affects this scenario. |
