Here's hoping for the best for the people in the path of this monster. A Cat 5 storm with sustained winds of over 200 MPH. Hope folks can get out of the way.
Hurricane Patricia: Strongest Storm Ever Measured to Hit Mexico - NBC News
Wow ... talk about over-hype. I still can't get over how much of a non-story this became overnight. Don't get me wrong ... I'm glad it looks looks like the initial blow was not as bad as they were predicting. However, I was expecting to see pictures of grand resort hotels being reduced to rubble and floating out to sea. We'll see what the rains bring in the next few days.
Yep. I understand what you are saying. I lived in North Carolina during the 90's (1996 Hurricane Season was the most memorable for me) and was part of the response to Louisiana immediately after Katrina in 2005. My comment was about the story itself and how quickly it fizzled ... as well as the reports of no deaths or serious injuries (24 hours later).
It was a very good thing that the worst of the storm missed the most heavily populated areas and that it did, in fact, weaken almost as fast as it strengthened.
Still waiting to see what later news reports say. A lot of that terrain will be hard to assess for a while yet and there's still the rain.
For the sake of the potential lives impacted, I am glad that there was no major damage and (thus far) no deaths reported. But this must have been the most over-hyped storm in history. It petered out as quickly as it surged (thankfully).
The global warmists are praying for the storm that will vindicate their Gaiaist, crypto-Wiccan superstitions.
Obama.....Who are they praying to?
