The bomb cyclone is here, and it's astounding even the most seasoned weather experts.

This storm intensified at one of the fastest rates ever recorded for an East Coast, non-tropical storm system, which caught the attention of even the most jaded weather geeks. On Twitter, they're marveling at images of the storm, which -- it must be admitted -- does look incredibly striking as it hits the East Coast.

It's important to note that no one is happy about the contents of the storm. After all, it's dangerous and likely to hurt people in its path. Instead, Weather Twitter is focused on the stunning satellite imagery: the comma-shaped cyclone, eye, and lingering snow seen from above.

And if you're in the storm's path? Well, consider staying inside and experiencing the storm satellite-style, too. There are plenty of images to go around.
