I’m confused. I thought hurricanes were north of the equator and cyclones spun the other way and were only found south of the equator, but the bomb cyclone hit Washington state and Canada.
It’s a synoptic cyclone. Thanks!
Different kinds of cyclones. This one is more correctly called "Explosive Cyclogenesis"
