20 years ago I firsts started researching "bomb cyclones" and looked at the climatology as well as dozens of extreme examples for case studies.
This bomb would be an epic research case study, nothing else comparable in this ocean real estate.

How did climate change make this unprecedented bomb cyclone much worse and more frequent?
Warming planet means stronger jet stream currently at over 220 mph in Central Pacific.
More moisture for the bomb to use for diabetic heating (ocean flux) + warmer ocean (& atmosphere)

In the North Pacific during cold season from October to March, we typically see 30-40 bomb cyclones. But the recent few extreme cyclones in mid-October are rare & a harbinger of a "new normal" of bombs developing faster and affecting coast w/Category 5 Atmospheric Rivers.
Scientists call this "weather whiplash" for California going from historical drought to deluge 🌧
"Scientists have long warned that this whiplash would become more common as the consequences of a warming planet continue to intensify."

I've been warming for more than a week about the unprecedented bomb cyclone and atmospheric river. But that's because I have the answer key e.g. advanced weather models. ⚠️🌧
I see the future of climate fueled weather a week or two before most everyone else. 🧐
