Re: Question about definition of Word "Bomb"

>>>Well let me try to blast away at this one.

Ed, LOL!

Seriously, I'm as guilty as anyone for using this term, mostly because Steve & Joe B throw it around. But thanks for the info about it's origins..nor'easters. I get my fair share of those and yeah, just watch that storm currently affecting the area just south of me. If it gets out over the (relatively) warm waters (probably too far north now), it will "bomb" out and rapidly intensify.

Unless, of course, Joe B's forecast "bombs".

Cheers & Peace,

LI Phil
