Powerful winds have begun to batter parts of the British Columbia coast as the region faces a major fall storm.
A powerful low-pressure centre has parked off the B.C. coast, and, with its pressure expected to continue falling, is forecast to generate intense easterly winds throughout Tuesday.
This type of system is known as an explosive cyclogenesis, a bomb cyclone or a bombogenesis, which occurs when a rapid drop in atmospheric pressure is recorded at the centre of a storm system.
Global’s Kylie Stanton reports on the storm preparations underway and meteorologist Kristi Gordon has an update on what to expect overnight.

Tell Trudeau to go to Tofino. Good day to surf 😅😅😅
For those who wants to compare… Hurricane Milton's highest recorded wind speed is 180mph, which when converted is about 290kph. What BC is probably going to face is probably just a category 1 hurricane by the time it hits the coast, which is new for BC, but the media hype is just making people laugh. But people in small boats or near the shores should probably get to safer ground as category 1s can still cause harm, especially if they whip something up and the winds smash you in the head with it.
The meteorologist in this video should be ashamed of herself for referring to the hurricane categorization system. This isn’t a freaking hurricane! It’s a mid latitude cyclone and the implications of those two weather features are completely different. So sad.
Hyperbole
So much brain rot in these comments.
What about flights?
Will this bomb cyclone be travelling down the pineapple express and will it be bringing atmospheric rivers?
What's going to happen if these people ever see a snow flurry in October?
Jesus, i thought b.c. was getting bombed!! By's really got to change the names of storms. Hope all is well on the other side of the country🤘
Welcome to the east coast lolll back there the houses blow into the water
Better check to see if Trudeau has just washed up on shore with a surf board.
they are justing pushing product.
Checking comments and everything saying the same thing I wanted to say….stop using scare tactics…it’s a winter storm….thanks to everyone else who see through this nonsense as well!
Why not just say explosive cyclogenesis? 😂
Simple solution, if you cannot be a news person without resorting to scare tactics, you should find another job. I would fire this woman in a second for her attitude.
Fear mongering at its best rite here. Global garbage ..
Stop the fear mongering. We traveled to BC at this time of the year six years ago for “storm watching”. We spent four days in a storm in Ucluelet. It’s Mother Nature at her best
They made the news political. Heavy winds and light rain. OMG!!! Bomb cyclone!!! Climate change!!!!! Ohhh noooooo!!!!!!!
Send them some gas powered generators, oh wait, that would mean there would be some CO2 emmisions and the climate would suffer, so sorry it's better that the people suffer instead.
Whats next? Dynamite earthquake?! 😂😂
The media loves it because it has bomb in it. Makes it sound scary, more dramatic
Soooo it’s windy😂😂😂😂😂
Please just continued to call it heavy winds and rain. This is no different from the storms of my early childhood and I’m 46. Nothing about the storms is different
Wrong again as usual, just a mild storm
When we really need to take cover since a cyclone bomb didn’t do it??? What ya gonna call it then? So stupid this nonsense language
BOMB cyclones ,ATMOSPHERIC rivers you forgot ACID rain main stream media is a joke
Aaaaaannnnddd. Nothing happened 😂
These people all need to be put in jail they're all a bunch of nutcases pushing propaganda
Moonyow Made Storm! Your Leaders Are All For Depopulation Right Now! 😅
It was a term first defined (possibly first coined?) in 1980 by Fred Sanders and John Gyakum to describe a change of pressure of 24 millibars in 24 hours, roughly, depending on latitude. Fred Sanders is deceased. John Gyakum no longer uses the term due to its association with weaponry.
Liars, propaganda bombed
Remember when a storm was called a storm? What’s with all the silly names. Is it because Trudeau’s government is giving you Canadian tax dollars to fear monger us?
It’s called FALL
Missed Dewdney bull crap
On Vancouver island here in the cowichan valley. Had a tarp not even roped down, didn't even move. Couldn't fly a kite if you wanted to last night or this morning.. slight breeze.
We have people on here who think calling it a "bomb cyclone" is just sensationalism when it's an actual meteorological term. There's a definition for the term that you can all look up if you want. It's funny how people who are completely ignorant on a topic usually have the most to say.
