Yeah but fuck that. If I were in its path I'd either be on the road already or in somebody's basement with all my valuables that I can carry.
Jump in your car and find an open road straight into the wind. Put it in neutral and rev it up as you pretend to be going faster than an F1 car. YEEHAW!

So... I'm in Puerto Vallarta.... They evacuated us to a school a few miles inland... Going to be a hell of a night...
That's insane. From "extremely inconvenient storm" to "we're all screwed" in a day.Patricia is estimated to have intensified 85 knots (100 mph) in 24 hours, from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane.
I don't suppose there are other options available anymore for getting slightly more than a few miles inland? Like maybe several hundred miles away?So... I'm in Puerto Vallarta.... They evacuated us to a school a few miles inland... Going to be a hell of a night...
Yeah, that's just incredible. Absolutely devastating.200 mph sustained?!?!?!?!
Holy ****!!!!

NO! It is only the strongest hurricane in the eastern Pacific, and does not include typhoons in the western Pacific, or Atlantic storms.The National Hurricane Center has never issued an advisory for a 200MPH hurricane before; no one has measured a hurricane (or typhoon) with winds that fast before.
Puerto Vallarta may be in trouble here...
The winds are especially problematic because they get worse as you go up. It means fleeing to higher ground, even just a few stories to get away from the storm surge, isn't effective because a building isn't likely to survive.
No Atlantic or western Pacific storm has reliably been measured at >=200MPH sustained.NO! It is only the strongest hurricane in the eastern Pacific, and does not include typhoons in the western Pacific, or Atlantic storms.
That's like an F3-F4 category tornado except it will last for hours and will affect a huge area simultaneously. That's just the wind aspect of this beast, God only knows how bad the flooding and tidal surge will be. I can't imagine any structures being able to withstand that much wind load, everything will fail and the air will be laden with 200+ MPH chunks of buildings, trees, anything that will now be deadly missiles. I will Pray for these people, tens of thousands could die.
...tens of thousands could die.
Not only the storm surge, and the rain, but then they get even more flooding from the water coming back off the mountains.
can't wait until this gets turned into a movie in a few years
No, the fastest winds will be near the eye which is not 1000 miles wide.Might as well be a thousand mile wide F5 tornado at this point. Scary!
http://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/eastern-pacific/2015/Hurricane-Patricia?3. The NOAA hurricane hunter aircraft reports that at this time, the
category 5 winds are occurring over a very small area near the
center - about 15 miles across. Look at the "Storm Details" tab.
I'm sure it probably will be.
It seems bad form on your part to post that while people will be dying soon.

Your a complete, unmitigated, asshole.
Duh, it doesn't? Shens.It could be worse. Just imagine if climate change actually made these storms more intense.
