A powerful, and windy winter storm — dubbed a "bomb cyclone" due to the plummeting barometric pressure — is blasting its way across the U.S. and Canada, affecting millions who are gearing up for holiday travel.
The last bomb cyclone to wreak havoc in the U.S. was on March 13, 2019, in southern Colorado. It set a record for the lowest pressure ever recorded over the Rocky Mountain state.
Here are some of the craziest images and video of the storm.

Narragansett open again & relatively calm compared to high tide at 7 am. Road's a mess & they're ploughing sand off it.

Flooding at Clippership Wharf, LoPresti Park, and Shaws supermarket
High tide + Wind (Storm surge) means Occasional Flooding in 2022
What will it mean in 2032? 2042? 2052?#ActOnClimate pic.twitter.com/yfD1FipnWJ
