Yea, I've been reading about this one. Last I saw, it wasn't that bad, but all of a sudden I see it's a CAT 5. I'm not a praying man, but I'm saying a little something for those families there.
It's above classification now. It becomes CAT 5 at 150mph winds, but the 190-200mph winds would be CAT 6 if there was a CAT 6 according to the original article. That's just crazy. I think a lot of people are going to die.
not any more..i'm in VA, now....my husband was stationed in pascagoula a while back
I just read that. When Andrew hit us, it was down to a CAT 3 and that was intense. I couldn't imagine 200+mph sustained winds.
i think you're right. i wonder if that area has a warning system to get people evacuated who can't get out on their own. like older people..or people who are disabled..
my home town..tampa, fla has that hurricane shit down. they get school buses and start getting the old people out right away. send cops out with their sirens saying...get the fuck out.
From what I've read there are some areas just too remote, and with the way it escalated they won't have had time.

Hurricane Patricia makes landfall in Mexico - CNN.com
Patricia's intensity is comparable to Typhoon Haiyan, which hit the Philippines in 2013, the World Meteorological Organization tweeted. More than 6,000 people died in Haiyan, due largely to enormous storm surges that rushed through coastal areas. Haiyan had 195 mph sustained windswhen it made landfall, while Typhoon Tip was at 190 mph (and had a slightly lower pressure reading of 870 millibars) in 1979.

Yup.
I live in the Philippines and haiyan was a beast. I was miles away from ground zero but we felt it for sure.
The aftermath was horrifying. It was the zombie apocalypse down there. No electricity, no clean water, roads impassable, convicts on the loose (floods broke down the walls of a prison), people trading whatever they had just to get out. It was terrible and I'm afraid for mexico
