The Army has been deployed to help with flood relief for a powerful bomb cyclone that has killed two people and threatens a host of extreme weather elements including blizzard conditions and powerful winds across Iceland and the United Kingdom through the weekend.
Storm Dennis, as it was officially named earlier last week, exploded into a bomb cyclone on Thursday after its central pressure plummeted 1.38 inches of mercury (46 mb) in 24 hours. The drop was recorded from 29.4 to 28.1 inches of mercury (996 mb to 950 mb).
The storm has the potential to be one of the strongest ever observed over the North Atlantic Ocean. The top-five most intense storms all recorded a pressure of 27 inches of mercury (925.5 mb) or lower.
On Saturday, the central pressure in the storm dropped down to 21.17 inches of mercury (920 mb). Dennis could approach the intensity of the the Braer Storm, which bottomed out at a pressure of 26.96 inches of mercury (913 mb) in 1993.(READ MORE)
