Militarisation of the Weather

When did meteorologists starting using the word 'bomb'? Two headlines, today,  from the weather website, Accuweather, 'Satellite captures 'bomb cyclone' moving up eastern seaboard', and 'Reports: Snowstorm undergoes bombogenesis as it pounds DC to New York City, Boston'. What does this even mean?!

Isn't the weather nasty and dangerous enough already. Why do they want to anthropomorphise it and grant it the power to 'bomb' us?

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
