Update: 10:00 pm 23 Oct. 2015: Thousands of #Patricia evacuees, refugees
Hurricane Patricia’s winds continue to range from 165 to 185 mph as the monster treks inland to less developed, more vulnerable communities. According to initial reports after Hurricane Patricia made landfall, Manzanillo has been hardest hit so far, with the storm’s eye passing through it. Webcam shots are beginning to trickle in, showing the violent storm’s impact.
About half of the 15,000 tourists in Hurricane Patricia’s path were evacuated to Guadalajara by the time the storm hit. About 10,000 others were evacuated from the Jalisco coast.
When Jesus Anguino Salazar arrived Thursday at a Puerto Vallarta hotel, employees told him that he wasn’t a guest but instead, a refugee, according to the LA Times. He therefore headed to a bus station Friday to go back to Guadalajara, about 125 miles east of Puerto Vallarta.
“I got a bus ticket but everything was full, and I had to wait in a really long line, ” he told a Mexican newspaper. When finally on a bus, he said that all the passengers could talk about was the storm and what it might do to their homes.

Most electricity service has been suspended as a precaution. Residents have bene warned that they could expect to be without power at least 24 hours.
Update: 6:30 pm CST 23 Oct. 2015: Search and Rescue teams readying
“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.”
Mexican authorities have received reports of toppled trees and lampposts, flooding and landslides after powerful Hurricane Patricia made landfall in a relatively unpopulated stretch of Pacific coast. Authorities said air transport was being readied to perform search and rescue operations in the morning.

Patricia is heading over a mountainous region dotted with isolated hamlets at risk of mudslides and flash floods.
President Nieto said the entirety of Mexico’s 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 local authorities’ instructions.
At 6:15 p.m. local time Friday, Category 5 Hurricane Patricia made landfall along the coast of southwestern Mexico in the Jalisco communities of El Estrecho, La Manzanilla and Melaque about 88 kilometers west-northwest of Manzanillo, and Colima – about 200 kilometers south of Puerto Vallarta. There are still no reports of conditions in fishing communities where the storm made landfall except that flooding is occuring.
Patricia weakened to 165 mph at landfall, maintaining its Category 5 strength and unleashing destructive winds, torrents of rain, and a devastating storm surge before moving inland. An NHC forecaster said the hurricane would likely continue moving north-northeast across western and northern Mexico through tomorrow. It should weaken rapidly over the mountains and dissipate tomorrow.
The Mexican weather service forecast has warned residents of intense rain in the states of Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima and Michoacán over the next three hours and winds gusting to over 62 mph in the states of Jalisco, Colima and Michoacán. Waves from 15 to 24 feet are forecast in the same three states.

Update: 1:45 pm PST 23 Oct. 2015
Hurricane Patricia has now peaked at 8.3 on an 8.0 intensity scale. “Still, calling Patricia a Category 5 underestimates just how ferocious this storm is,” Slate reports.
Patricia is heading for a landfall between Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta on Mexico’s southwest coast, expecting to arrive between 5:00 and 6:00 pm Friday. It is threatening to surpass a 1959 hurricane that ranks deadliest in that part of the Pacific. Upon landfall, Hurricane Patricia is expected to trigger up to 40 feet waves and as if it is not catastrophic enough, hurl powerhouse tornadoes in the area.
Moving inland, Patricia is expected to produce up to two feet of rain in Mexico’s coastal mountain range, creating flooding and mudslide risks over a vast area, including Guadalajara, the country’s second-largest city.
Over the past 30 hours, Patricia’s central pressure has fallen 114 millibars, from 994 to 880, possibly beating the world’s record for fastest intensification. As the hurricane nears land, it has not changed notably in strength. It is moving 12 miles per hour. After hitting land, it is expected to move more quickly through Mexico. It’s heavy rain and flooding has begun.
Other damage reports are already coming in from Manzanillo.
Update: 11:45 am PST 23 Oct. 2015

Mexicans have been warned shocking news that Hurricane Patricia has potential to lift cars and homes.
Conagua director says the phenomenon has the strength to lift cars and homes. He announced in a press conference that Playa Perula is the area most at risk, and to make preparations.
“We don’t want anyone outside after 2 p.m. Hurricane Patricia will be able to lift cars,” the Civil Guard reports.
Mexicans in Patricia’s path who are still at home have been told to cut power, gas and water at their homes to prevent adding to the pending humanitarian catastrophe.

Update: 8:45 am 23 Oct. 2015
Hurricane Patricia became the strongest storm ever measured on the planet early Friday, threatening 205 mph winds at landfall and to trigger deadly 40-foot waves, “life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides” along with widespread power outages, experts say. Waterspouts, tornadoes and whirlpools near the hurricane at landfall are likely. Disastrous conditions will probably begin at noon Friday.
Due to recent rains that softened the ground, the area could register mudslides, landslides, overflowing rivers and streams and damages in roads and road sections, as well as flooding in low saturation areas and drains in urban sites.
Several million residents on Mexico’s southern west coast were told to rapidly prepare for a “worst-case scenario” as powerhouse Patricia raced toward them late Friday afternoon or early evening.
With 215 mph maximum sustained winds early Friday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) described Patricia as the “strongest hurricane on record” in the Atlantic and eastern North Pacific Basins. CONAGUA, Mexico’s national water commission, predicted waves up to 39 feet at landfall. In August, Dupré reported a powerhouse El Nino amid the hottest ocean waters in recorded history was brewing catastrophic conditions, requiring early preparations.
Patricia’s power is comparable to Typhoon Haiyan, that left more than 7,300 people dead or missing in the Philippines two years ago, according to the U.N.’s World Meteorological Organization.
At 4:00pm CDT, the hurricane was about 400 kilometers south of Manzanillo, moving west-northwest at 20 km/h. AccuWeather forecasters narrowed Hurricane Patricia’s landfall to just northwest of the city of Manzanillo in Colima Thursday, the NHC had reported that Pattricia would weaken at landfall. Early Friday, however, it revised that, reporting that some strengthening is forecast for tonight when it hits.
Original Story
Category 5 Hurricane Patricia became a “potentially catastrophic hurricane” in the Pacific Ocean Thursday, according to forecasters. Government officials scrambled to warn the public to rapidly prepare for the dangerous super storm, intensified over the hottest water in recorded history from a little tropical storm into a monster within 24 hours, threatening life and property.
“Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion today,” the National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami said Thursday night after Hurricane Patirica quickly grew from a 65MPH tropical storm into a Category 5 hurricane, causing authorities to scramble in attempt to make people safe.
Satellite images indicate that maximum sustained winds increased to 200 mph with higher gusts, the NHC reported. “Some fluctuations in intensity are possible today, but Patricia is expected to remain an extremely dangerous Category 5 hurricane through landfall,” the center reported early Friday morning.
Patricia is expected to land near Punta San Telmo, Baja California Sur late Friday. Hurricane warnings are in effect on Mexico’s Pacific Coast from San Blas to Punta San Telmo, including resort cities Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo. People in the most danger are those on the coast, especially in the state of Jalisco.
Millions in harm’s way
According to the 2010 census, more than 7.3 million inhabitants are in Jalisco state; more than 255,000 in Puerto Vallarta municipality; more than 650,000 in Colima state, and more than 161,000 in Manzanillo.
Not only Patricia’s expected deadly winds have Mexicans preparing for the worst. Destructive waves, heavy rain and thus landslides are probable, only a month after neighboring Guatemala’s catastrophic rain storm and mudslides buried hundreds alive. Up to 20 inches of rain has been predicted for Mexican states Jalisco, Colima, Michoacan and Guerrero through Saturday, the NHC said.
Manzanillo’s “main street really floods and cuts access to a lot of other streets. It ends up like an island,” explained a resident Alejandra Rodriguez.
Patricia is the only second category 5 hurricane to hit the entire Pacific coast since full recordkeeping began in 1949. A storm struck late October 1959 near Manzanillo, killing an estimated 1,800 people — 800 from mudslides alone. A category 5 damage averages over five billion dollars, unimaginable for Americans poor neighbors to the south.
Forecast models indicate that after the storm breaks over land, its tropical moisture will likely combine with and contribute to heavy rainfall all the way to Texas. Texas is already soaked independently of the hurricane, according to center meteorologist Dennis Feltgen. Further land erosion along the Gulf of Mexico is also predicted.
“It’s only going to make a bad situation worse,” he said. (See module of possible paths here.)

Last night, officials said they were preparing 50,000 evacuations, not millions.
It’s safe to say that when large dangerous storms like this come close, if you live near the area of direct impact, you NEED TO GET OUT. Take as much with you as you can and go visit relatives somewhere else. Most likely, anything you leave behind will be lost anyways so take the stuff you will need the most, including precious family articles such as pictures and other stuff.
The storms will get worse and worse.
Absolutely agree on all counts. Those who don’t obey evacuation orders pay the highest price. That said, MANY Mexicans have NO cars or other transportation means – extremely troublesome today.
No time to point the finger, but with this kind of death and destruction on our door step… deniers need to be held accountable – just as major corporations are being held accountable for knowing and resisting change. The poor globally are suffering more than others from global warming.
10 Facts: Suppressed Science which Now Show Global Cooling
- http://investmentwatchblog.com/10-facts-suppressed-science-which-now-show-global-cooling
Just using the word “deniers” show how utterly brain washed you are,…
The truth is if the draconian Global warming laws “the Kyoto Protocols” are implemented fully it will kill billions not the other way around, that’s why only 37 countries are or were willing to back Kyoto Protocol extension,..
Dont be silly! The Zionist baby bombers like Dupre et al dont kill billions!
It seems completely logical now that the military has accomplished there stated objective to own the weather and they did it before 2025. With absolutely zero hurricanes making US landfall yet an unprecedented number of category 4+ typoons in the pacific and now Patricia late in the season with record setting wind speed it’s fairly obvious these storms are being manipulated by unnatural forces.
“Useless eaters” first to go. How about some environmental justice?
If that thig gets into the gulf of mexico , look out
xD
There is a huge potential for damage in the area of landfall. But Texas isn’t soaked. Currently most of the state is in drought condition. There are burn bans over most of the state.

Hmm. Not what Texans say, my friend. Please check your facts.
Deborah, you live in Dallas too! I would be glad to email you some pics and videos.
As dear Johnny Cash might ask, “How high’s the water, Mama?”

This is due to a stronger wobble caused by Planet X aswel as the Mega El Nino. Read more on /weather/2015/10/cyclone-increase-2444800.html
In California they already pushed all BS laws about drought, more taxes, less freedom. They will not backed down. Majority of the people are brainwashed that this is a natural drought, not man made.
You can view satellite photos of them blocking all the weather fronts coming in off the ocean in California..
But nobody lives in mexico they all came here to the US INC to be more debt slaves and collateral for the national debt to the International Bankers of the Federal Reserve System.
Poor people are “nobody”? People much worse off economically since US shoved NAFTA down their throats are “nobody”? Along with approximately 1 million Americans living in Mexico, 109 million people live in Mexico. Agreed, however, that the NWO is pulling the strings.
Have you seen the movie, “A Day Without a Mexican”?
“Ever measured on the planet” Sick of this lie. Sick of Nikki Hailey “most rain in a 1,000 years. WE HAVE ONLY BEEN KEEPING RECORDS FOR 150 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMN STUPID PEOPLE.
Measured is an important word you seem to have dismissed. Hope your health improves soon.
Pray for the people of Mexico who are in the path of this monster storm. This storm will be costly! PV might be gone.
yes, pray for them- especially the cartel and their yields so they can keep on killing and cutting people’s heads of or hanging them up from bridges. You must pray for the cartel.
Oh, you mean the cartel the US has aided and abetted for years through the CIA’s bad drug trafficking habit?
Demonic CIA head choppers. I think it’s a ritual thing for them.
God’s Judgments are Coming
The signs of the times give evidence that the judgments of heaven are being poured out, that the day of the Lord is at hand. The daily papers are full of indications of an intense conflict in the future. Bold robberies are of frequent occurrence. Strikes are common. Thefts and murders are committed on every hand. Men possessed by demons are taking the lives of men, women, and little children. All these things testify that the Lord’s coming is near.
The restraining Spirit of God is even now being withdrawn from the world. Hurricanes, storms, tempests, disasters by sea and by land, follow one another in quick succession. The signs thickening around us, telling of the near approach of the Son of God, are attributed to any other than the true cause. . . .
The time is right upon us when there will be sorrow in the world that no human balm can heal. Even before the last great destruction comes upon the world, the flattering monuments of man’s greatness will be crumbled in the dust. God’s retributive judgments will fall on those who in the face of great light have continued in sin. Costly buildings, supposed to be fireproof, are erected. But as Sodom perished in the flames of God’s vengeance, so will these proud structures become ashes. I have seen vessels which cost immense sums of money wrestling with the mighty ocean, seeking to breast the angry billows. But with all their treasures of gold and silver, and with all their human freight, they sank into a watery grave…. But amid the tumult of excitement, with confusion in every place, there is a work to be done for God in the world.–Maranatha, p. 175.
Jesus get over it, God has nothing to do with what’s happening to nature
That’s one way to look through the fish bowl… but all views are not correct . Truth does exist. My view … Jesus is the only way …and God has everything to do with nature, whether spiritual ,physical, mental, or whatever
im sorry but this storm is NOT the strongest ever winds ok if you go in a cat 5 or 6 tornado you will fined that they are stonger ……………………..
…like you have the highest IQ ever … only that is relative to it’s being considered in relation to how small it is compared to hurricane size brains.
STFU Deborah Dupre STFU
probably preparing US for a large influx of immigrants. any excuse
This unusual hurricane is the direct result of a rather recent 2.5 degree increase in overall Earth surface temperature … which is not a result of ‘global warming’ but of “Planet X coming”. This is now undeniable …. please view “Planet X on 2nd. Balloon Launch?”
This storm is big, but this is bigger.

LOL! it turned out to be just another soaker, hyped out of proportion like so many other “storms of desolation.”
Time will tell. There’s more to this story than what media allowed the public to know.
This hurricane is all about how Mexico has dumped the dollar and is now trading in Yuan. Bingo, instant hurricane. Let’s see what happens to the next country who dares to defy the Rothschilds and Rockers. One can’t be 100% certain but if it happens again, it will not be a co-incidence.
Let’s hope that human toll is not too high.
Room – With weather warfare developed, your hypothesis is not beyond possibility, as evil as it sounds. Bet Trump can’t wait to get his hands on some of that prime land “destroyed” that belongs to Mexico’s poor who have no pesos to rebuild.
