bomb cyclone

A fake meteorological term made up and pushed by the media to instill fear in the general populous about a relatively strong storm to get more views. The “bomb” refers to the meteorological process of bombogenesis which is the rapid strengthening of a storm in 24 hours. The “cyclone” is referring to the shape of the storm looking like a hurricane or cyclone.
