The Pacific Northwest is now getting Cyclones (Pacific Hurricanes)

I think I speak for many PNW folks when I say we always thought that was more of a Florida thing.

Is this being blown up in the media? I have a couple friends that live in Oregon and Washington and they're saying this is pretty standard.

It is, and I think the novel thing about it is that it was a cyclone. Wind storms do happen out there and it's normal to see a few trees go down, but a bomb Cyclone is a completely different story.

In Oregon and Washington the standard used to be a pretty predictable "Columbus Day storm" in early-mid October. In the last 15-20 years it's been drifting later and later, but this year's is the latest I've ever seen, assuming that's what it is.
