What happens when an atmospheric river and a “bomb cyclone” happen at the same time?  Unfortunately, millions of people living on the west coast are about to find out.  Extremely high winds, massive amounts of rain, and blizzard conditions in the mountains are being forecast for the days ahead, but nobody is quite sure exactly how this extremely unusual weather event is going to play out. Over the past few years, weather patterns all over the planet have been going completely insane, and now it is happening again. It is very rare for an atmospheric river and a “bomb cyclone” to occur simultaneously, but that is precisely what we are witnessing… The arrival of an atmospheric river – a long, narrow band of heavy moisture from the tropics – coincides with conditions in the Pacific where a polar air mass collides with a tropical air mass, causing the atmospheric pressure to drop quickly. Meteorologists call such low-pressure systems a bomb cyclogenesis, bombogenesis, or a bomb cyclone, which intensifies the storm and increases its winds. It would be bad enough to be facing an atmospheric river and a “bomb cyclone” at the same time, but it turns out that both of them are also immensely powerful. According to meteorologist Ryan Maue, this is a “Category 5 atmospheric river”, and the central pressure of the “bomb cyclone” will drop so low that it will be “similar” to a Category 4 hurricane… A massive “bomb cyclone” is set to explode off the U.S. West Coast with hurricane force winds, flooding rains, and enormous mountain snow from Category 5 atmospheric river. Central pressure will fall almost 70 mb / 24 hours reaching 942 mb — similar to Category 4 hurricane. I had a very difficult time processing that when I first read it. We have never seen anything like this before. Ryan Maue is a very highly respected meteorologist, and I have no reason to doubt what he is saying. He is also telling us that approximately 20 trillion gallons of moisture will be dumped on the U.S. over the next week… Just in the next 7-days from the “climate fueled” atmospheric river and mega “bomb cyclone” 8 Trillion gallons of precipitation will fall on California 5T on Oregon and 3T on Washington + 2.5T on Idaho Pushing 20 Trillion gallons from this extreme event. This has the potential to be a historic disaster. According to Accuweather, it is being projected that the central pressure of the “bomb cyclone” will “crash from 29.53 inches (1000 mb) to at least 28.05 inches (950 mb) in 24 hours”… The storm will strengthen so fast that it will fit into a special category of weather terminology known as a bomb cyclone. A storm, or cyclone, is essentially a giant spinning vacuum in the atmosphere. When a storm’s central pressure drops 0.71 of an inch of mercury inches (24 millibars) or more in 24 hours or less, it is considered to be a bomb cyclone. “This storm’s central pressure is forecast to crash from 29.53 inches (1000 mb) to at least 28.05 inches (950 mb) in 24 hours, which is double the criteria for a bomb cyclone,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Heather Zehr said. We have seen “bomb cyclones” before. But I have never heard of a storm’s central pressure falling so fast that it actually doubles the criteria for a bomb cyclone. That is nuts. We are being told that the hardest hit areas along the west coast will be “between the San Francisco Bay area and Eureka, California”… The heaviest impacts, classified by the University of California, San Diego as “extreme,” will be between the San Francisco Bay area and Eureka, California, according to WeatherNation. Strong impacts from the storm are expected as far north as central Oregon and as far south as Salinas, California. These include high winds, heavy rain, and the potential for flash flooding. But that doesn’t mean that you will be able to relax if you live outside of the target zone. For example, a blizzard warning has been issued for the Cascade mountains outside of Seattle… The National Weather Service in Seattle issued a blizzard warning for the Cascade mountain passes starting Tuesday, cautioning residents and travelers of hazardous conditions set to begin on Tuesday afternoon. The warning takes effect from 4 p.m. Tuesday until 10 a.m. Wednesday for elevations above 2,500 feet, and includes areas such as Hamilton, Concrete, Lyman, Morton and Darrington. I think that this storm has the potential to do an enormous amount of economic damage. Sadly, we just keep getting hit by highly destructive storms over and over again. The number of “billion dollars disasters” reached an all-time record high in 2023, and it looks like we will set another new all-time record in 2024. Many people are convinced that this is just a temporary phenomenon and that things will eventually return to normal. Of course that is not true at all. The truth is that we really are living in the end times, and natural disasters are going to continue to get even more powerful and even more destructive. In fact, what we have been through so far is nothing compared to what is eventually coming. So buckle up and try to enjoy the ride, because our planet and everything on it will be greatly shaken during the years ahead.

Eligibility for Acting Officers: The “first assistant” to the vacant office automatically becomes the acting officer unless the President designates someone else. The President can also direct another person who has been confirmed by the Senate for a different position or a senior agency employee, who has served in the agency for at least 90 days in the preceding year and is at least at the GS-15 level, to act in the position. Time Limits: An acting officer can serve for no longer than 210 days from the date the vacancy occurred.
