The bomb cyclone hitting the northern parts of the United States is also wreaking havoc in Canada. The climate authorities of the North American country have asked its citizens to protect themselves from the effects of the meteorological phenomenon.
The Climate Institute of Canada warned this Friday about the storm, which will cause the thermometers to drop resoundingly and is accompanied by winds that can exceed 100 kilometers per hour.
Ontarians and Quebec residents will feel the most from the snowfall and extreme cold brought by the ‘bomb cyclone’. Nearly 300,000 homes in these provinces no longer have electricity.
What is the “cyclone bomb”, the cold wave that is affecting the United States
Given the state of the roads, which have been blocked due to traffic accidents, the Canadian authorities urge residents to stay home and try to get warm.
In Alberta (western Canada) and Saskatchewan (central), temperatures ranged from -40 to -50 degrees.
In the United States, severe winter storms will affect approximately 200 million people, 60% of the country’s population, according to projections by the National Weather Service (NWS).
About 10 people, so far, have died on the roads since the storm began in the states of Kansas, Oklahoma, Kentucky and Ohio.
