Hurricane Patricia Flooding, Landslides. Amazing Videos

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Hurricane Patricia has toppled trees and lampposts, cut electric power, is flooding and triggered landslides after powerful hurricane made landfall as a Category 5 on Mexico’s coast, as the first raw videos are showing. Evacuees have crowded into shelters, some resorting to the buildings’ halls in Jalisco where over 6,000 people are bunking down for the night.

Winds ranging from 165 -185mph smashed Manzanillo late today as Hurricane Patricia made landfall, bringing the rainy high storm surge through the streets.

Authorities said air transport was being readied to perform search and rescue operations in the morning.

“It’ll take some time for the winds to spin down,” said Dennis Feltgen, spokesman for the National Hurricane Center. “Don’t get fooled. Right now this is a very dangerous hurricane. It’s not gone. It’s just inland.”

“Do not go outside. Protect yourselves and follow instructions from the Civil Protection. I am thinking of you all,” Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto Tweeted.

Tens of thousands of people up and down the coast were evacuated into shelters and out of the danger zone. Some left on government-provided flights and ground transportation, while others piled into cars and local buses.

“Everything in the street, such as cars, are going to turn into projectiles, so it’s very important that people seek shelter,” said Ricardo de la Cruz, director of civilian protection.

Road travel to get provisions to isolated areas is obviously hazardous, as caught on video in Manzanillo shortly ago, showing a semi-trailer flipping on the street in Patricia’s violent wind.

 

Patricia’s is heading over a mountainous region dotted with isolated hamlets also at risk of mudslides and flash floods.

“If there were a Category 6 for hurricanes, this would be a category six,” said Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto. “It’s a hurricane that hasn’t been seen before, not just in Mexico, not just in the United States. It has wind speeds that are greater than the most intense, strongest hurricanes ever recorded on the planet.”

Nieto said the entirety of the federal government was responding to the storm, working with state and local officials to coordinate evacuations and position emergency personnel to respond. He told Mexicans there will difficult days ahead and urged them to follow the instructions of local authorities.

Residents and tourists hunkered down in shelters and homes across a coastal stretch dotted with sleepy fishing villages and gleaming resorts, including Manzanillo and the popular beach city of Puerto Vallarta.

In Puerto Vallarta, residents had reinforced homes with sandbags and shop windows with boards and tape, and hotels rolled up beachfront restaurants.

At a Red Cross shelter, some 90 people waited anxiously in the heavy, humid air, including senior citizens in wheelchairs and young children snuggled between their parents on mattresses on the floor. The Red Cross in Mexico is not partnered with America’s FEMA, so still operates humanely.

Carla Torres and her family sought refuge there in the afternoon, fearful of what Patricia might do to her home just two blocks from a river in an area vulnerable to high winds.

“Here we are with those who can give us help,” Torres said.

Catholic Charities is also on the ground, providing relief services.

      Does this mean more Mexicans are coming over the border?

      • Deborah Dupre

        It means Americans neighbors are experiencing another humanitarian crisis.

        • Anonymous

          doesn’t look like 200-250 mph winds. this hurricane is a sham. from its 24 hr escalation to its lite damage results? this was a media hyped event for another reason? to distract from Benghazi hearings? to put in global taxes for UN?
          stats and outcome on ground don’t add up. just sayin

      Mexico needed a good power washing anyhow. Hopefully, the illegals will go back now that the West coast of Mexico has been spit :wink: shined.

      • Deborah Dupre

        Thank you, Duke, for your wonderful example of American Xenophobia.

    • HerusaAustsaAusar

      sorry no big deal wipes…when it comes youll know.. not any damage for this most biggest most damaging hurricaines ever..

      • Deborah Dupre

        At least 3,000 to 3,500 homes damaged is “no big deal”?
        At least 12,000 people possibly homeless is “no big deal”?
        “No big deal” to whom? Crisis capitalists?

      From jimstone.is (he is in Mexico)

      Final answer at the end of the day: There WAS NO HURRICANE

      This was a lie from start to finish. It made landfall nowhere. It dissipated into a tropical depression 100 miles out at sea after barely becoming a tropical storm. This fake cane was just a load of bunk to support the climate scam. Only a little rain in Guadalajara, only a little rain in Guanajuato, only rain even in Puerto Vallarta, which the eye passed over. Many witnesses are wondering WTF happened to this storm, which never existed. It is OFF THE TV. It is NOT ON DRUDGE, and out of the news TOTALLY. It is not even in news flashes.
      OFFICIAL TALLY: Zero deaths, zero property damage. The entire coast is populated from start to finish. There is no way for any real hurricane to have a tally of ZERO.

      Even if, as the prevailing damage control lie goes: “the hurricane was extremely compact and had only category 1 winds 15 miles away from the eye wall,” we have the leading edge, at 30 miles wide, full cat 5, and the sides for another 30, for a cat 5 to category 1 total distance 60 miles. WHERE IS THE DEVASTATION? There is not one downed house, not one washed out road, not one flipped over car when cars should have been missiles and the ENTIRE coast is populated. Who is pushing this crap about a record hurricane? ANSWER:

      Climate scammers who want a “world record hurricane” on the books for the climate change/carbon tax agenda, that is who. This is not even in the Mexican news flashes anymore, it just evaporated like a ghost into nowhere. But it is now on the books as the big BAAAAD climate change cane, just wait and see! You will see the geriatric climate change lie get up and dance with this “cane!”.

      I IS OFFICIAL: HURRICANE PATRICIA NEVER EXISTED AND IS A U.S. GOVERNMENT SPONSORED GLOBAL WARMING HOAX

      “Eye wall” which only exists in computer models went directly over Puerto Vallarta, yet there were no significant winds and there was no damage or deaths, only heavy rain!

      This hoax hurricane arrived two days after the U.S. federal government threatened all people at NOAA and other weather agencies that if they went against the “official word” they would be jailed for breaking a gag order

      MEXICAN NEWS GAVE THE FINAL REPORT ON THE HURRICANE: NO NEWS

      I am calling it as it is: The so-called cat 5 world record hurricane was a tropical storm that turned into a tropical depression 100 miles off the Mexican coast, and it caused zero damage on arrival. Though the Mexican news is still calling it a cat 5, there is a surprised tone to it all, because there was no damage anywhere and no deaths. This was a fake hurricane that will hit the books as real, to provide fodder for the climate change scam.
      UPDATE: All the pictures are computer generated models. The Mexican press aired footage of the real deal, and it totally dissipated 50 – 100 miles off the coast with no distinguishable eye, and hit the coast as only clouds. The “hurricane” supposedly made landfall closest to Puerto Vallarta, between the cities of Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta. It supposedly took a track that should have destroyed both cities and totally obliterated the Mexican coast between those two cities. The American scam press is saying that it hit a “remote area of Mexico’s coastline” to explain no damage. What they are not saying is that it is only 100 miles from Manzanillo to Puerto Vallarta. No damage in either city means there was no hurricane AT ALL. And there are several significant towns between Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo. There is no such thing as a “remote stretch of Mexican coastline”, it is 100 percent populated the entire way.

      No deaths and no property damage ANYWHERE are being reported. All the Mexican press is saying is that there is “no news” and the hurricane is officially gone. The rain has already stopped in Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo. This “category 5″ was at best a tropical depression.

      I sort of figured something was amiss last night when not a single whisper of wind happened, even though I was supposed to be in the damage path. From the reports, I figured the winds would be 100 mph here. NOT A WHISPER OF WIND HAPPENED AT ALL. It was a calm night.
      Here is the news from Puerto Vallarta:

      “The Sokols, a family of five from suburban Detroit, were supposed to fly out of Puerto Vallarta on Friday but ended up for hours in a shelter at a university after their flight was canceled. By night they were back where they began: at their hotel, and no worse for wear. “It’s amazing it went from the worst in history to just some heavy rain,” Susanna Sokol said.
      My response: No, it is not surprising, with a gag order on U.S. climate scientists threatening prison if they speak up and say something other than the official word, a huge carbon tax, and a global warming/climate scam to uphold (which a world record hurricane that is off the charts would support), I don’t find it surprising AT ALL that all it ended up being was tropical rain.

      “CAT 5 PLUS WORLD DOOM HURRICANE PATRICIA WAS JUST A TROPICAL DEPRESSION, NOTHING SIGNIFICANT HAPPENED.

      UPDATE: NO HURRICANE, ONLY A TROPICAL DEPRESSION, HIT MEXICO

      And low and behold, two days before this hurricane, the U.S. federal government placed a gag order on NOAA weather officials and others in the U.S., saying they would face jail time if they spoke up against the “official” word given by the government. Why would they do that? Because they needed a huge storm on the records to support the climate change lie and they did not want people calling their bluff, THAT’S WHY.

      Ok, a little math here:

      How far across is a hurricane? Good estimate – 200 – 300 miles. How far across is the eye? 30 – 50 miles. This means that even if the hurricane scored a perfect shot between Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta, neither of those cities could have been less than 25-35 miles away from the eye wall. No damage in either of these cities, from a 220 plus mph windy eye wall, which should have had at least 150 mph winds extending 30 miles out on both sides means NOAA AND THE U.S. WEATHER REPORTING AGENCIES FAKED THIS HURRICANE.
      One strange hurricane

      I am holding off on calling it a hoax until I get more info, but this is what happened where I am: NOTHING.
      Ok, there was a quarter inch of rain last night. But the biggest thing I noticed this morning was blasting music that was way too loud coming from somewhere. There was a super mild rain. There was never any wind AT ALL. Nothing happened, and I am only 150 miles from where this thing made landfall, and it was supposed to be headed (sort of) in my direction. If this thing was even a normal category 1, there should have been at least 30 – 40 mph winds, possibly 100 mph winds and there was NOTHING. So I am going to say what people should see in the news, or this thing is FAKE.

      Let’s use as a reference the hurricane that hit the Yucatan a while back. It had 155 mph winds (not 220, like last night’s hurricane was supposed to have) and it stripped every tree completely out of the ground and razed every building for miles and miles. There were lots of photos of perfect devastation. So if, from this hurricane there are not photos of mountains completely stripped bare of all vegetation, no photos of the coastal road completely missing, no photos of erased cities, BLEAK MONOCHROME PHOTOS WHERE EVERYTHING IS ONE COLOR – MUD COLOR – for miles and miles of nothing but mud color razed flat waste, this hurricane was a hoax and that is all there is to it.

      I think we are going to get bright tropical colored photos of half ripped palm trees, IF THAT. This last hurricane should have excavated ground like a mining crew if it was real, once it gets past a certain point (and 220 mph winds with gusts up to 300 are well past that point) the earth itself cannot hold up and even the ground is scoured away and there is nothing but mud colored waste because of the dirt ripped out of the ground. If we do not see this, they hoaxed it. And why would they hoax it? To get their “world record storm” for the global warming scam, that is why. Come on now, THE FREAKING LIGHTS ARE ON AND THERE IS A HUGE PARTY SOMEWHERE, not a whisper of wind, NOTHING AT ALL going on here, and even though I was not in the direct path, I was at least in the strong weather path and nothing at all is simply not possible.

      DID YOU KNOW: Two days before this hurricane, a gag order was placed on NOAA and other government weather reporting agencies, stating that anyone in those agencies who spoke up against the “official” line would be criminally prosecuted. And why would that be?

      So far I am only going off of what happened where I am, but it was so starkly against what was stated to be happening that I am very suspicious.
