Bomb Cyclone, a natural disaster can make so much destruction even we can’t imagine.
In 1970 The Great Bhola Cyclone in Bangladesh made so much destruction of total between 3,00,000 to 5,00,000 deaths.
You cannot fight against Natural disasters but you can keep yourselves cautious regarding danger in hard times. So let’s begin with the topic.
Every creature is as important as a Human being. So you have to keep yourself and your pets to be safe in Bomb Cyclone. It is also too much dangerous for children and older persons.
How does Cyclone works and do meteorologists know about cyclone?
Cyclone is a result of nature action towards stabilization. How its a result of stabilization, its because, on our Earth due to temperature difference done by Sun, barometric pressure( air pressure) decrease or increase. In Both the cases, atmospheric pressure drop or increase cyclone occurs because higher barometric pressure air replace lower barometric pressure air to maintain stable in atmosphere.
Bomb Cyclone happens due to Rotation, inclination, and atmospheric pressure change on the Earth.
Atmospheric pressure means the pressure of air on Earth. Gravitational force plays a major role in air pressure. it is measured by Barometer.
Earth Inclined towards Sun is 23 and 1/2 degrees. At the Equator, Sun rays hit directly, so the temperature of air increase and pressure decrease. Dense air replaces low dense air to maintain this pressure difference.
But in the case of the mid-latitude area due to the temperature of air decreasing and the air becoming shrink(molecules of the air come closer and became heavier), it flows towards the coastal area because the air pressure of the coastal area is low. This wind speed decides how much destruction it creates.
Bomb Cyclone can create a wind speed of 75 to 95 miles per hour speed( 120km/hr. to 150 km/hr.). so it is also called a Super Cyclone.
As per the Carioles Forces in Southern Hemisphere Cyclone rotates in a Clockwise direction but in the Northern hemisphere Hurricane rotates in the anti-clockwise direction
If we convert Cyclone to Mechanical energy and produce electricity it can create approximately 1.5*1012 watt power which is half of energy required for world.
As Per Report Bomb Cyclone Texas and Alabama, Hits Southern Part of U.S.A in DEC 2022
As per the Report of the National Weather Service, the Bomb cyclone is going to hit mainly the Texas and Alabama region of the southern part of the U.S.A.
Is a bomb cyclone dangerous?
Yes, It’s a clear warning by the National Weather Service that the temperature goes down -50 to -55 degree Celsius and it is life-threatening for 40 million people.
As of August 2022, a total of 303 Atlantic tropical cyclones had hit a different part of the U.S.A according to the report.
Equipment used by Meteorologist to evaluate the risk of Bomb Cyclone
Doppler Radar is equipment that detects precipitation, the rotation of thunderstorm clouds, airborne tornado debris, and wind strength and direction.
Satellite data is taken by satellite. Satellite is of two type
- Polar Orbiting Satellite, This satellite is important for the polar region of Earth. This spacecraft is designed by NASA to examine polar magnetosphere and aurora sensors, Weather forecasts, atmospheric surroundings of temperature and humidity, etc.
- Geostationary satellite, As Earth takes rotates on its own axis Geostationary Satellite also moves the same according to Earth. This type of satellite is at an altitude of 38000 km over the equator at a single point
Weather Balloons, its a type of balloon that is made of latex or synthetic rubber of 0.051mm thickness of the layer.
Weather Balloon for Bomb Cyclone and other weather-related like atmosphere pressure, and humidity data collection by Radiosondes
The automated surface observing system, is a system that is placed on the ground to check sky conditions, surface visibility, precipitation, temperature and wind up to 12 times an hour.
Supercomputers are used to process all data coming from other equipment. it is 6 million more powerful than normal computers
AWIPS(Advanced Weather Inspection Processing System), this system is for processing all information both graphically and makes a graphical interface, which helps make it easy to broadcast.
Safety Instruction in Bomb Cyclone
- Avoid traveling outside while a warning is given by NWS regarding Blizzards.
2. Most of the time electricity is cut down due to wind speed or freezing rain, so it’s better to stock fuel and check other conditions of the generator.
3. Be cautious, always wear your winter clothes layer by layer to protect your body from getting a freezing temperature.
4. Be Hydrated by drinking warm water, it keeps our blood circulation better.
5. If you have to Shovel snow or do other outdoor work do it slowly.
6. According to the CDC warning, using the stove is not safe because it creates carbon monoxide inside the home which is more harmful if the chimney is not clear. instead of it use sleeping bags or coats or a well-maintained fireplace inside the room with good condition of the chimney.

7. leave the water tap slightly open to avoid prevent freezing.
8. Eat a well-balanced meal to stay warm. https://www.healthshots.com/healthy-eating/nutrition/winter-9-foods-to-keep-your-body-warm-and-cosy/
9. check the older person’s room if it is properly heated or not.
10. Make sure that Infants younger than 1 year must wear adequate clothes so that cold can’t catch them.
