"Cyclone bomb" is a BS term invented by mental midgets to add a drama factor to weather reports. It's the same reason the "jet stream" is now called the "Polar Vortex"(sheesh, seriously?), and why the winter temperatures in the lower 48 are always stated in terms of the "wind chill"(without actually saying it, of course)instead of the actual air temperature. It makes it all sound tabloidal and dramatic. It's all just 'weather'. When I started recording weather records 46yrs ago, none of these rubbish terms existed.
