Patricia is about to take a bite out of Mehico

Yes. By comparison here is the largest storm on record, Typhoon Tip, which also possesses the worldwide all time record low pressure on planet Earth of 870mb.



This is at his peak, where sustained winds inside the eyewall were 160mph... over a 10 minute period of time. Which is just beyond insane.

Since there is no land in that photo to compare sizes to, here is Tip superimposed on the United States:

Holy .... Thanks for the example

I have a coworker in Mexico right now on vacation, visiting her father. I hope she's OK.

The best case secenario is for this chubazco to really kick it up a notch with those winds and topple every catholic church and building. Death and destruction is inevitable with hurricane storms, so please 'Ticha give those catholic structures every damn thing you got!!!

[Wild Cobra]

Wow...

Does your company pay well enough for her to be able to hire a decent coyote to get back across the Rio Grande?

Hope everyone makes it safe..How often are these kind of Hurricane?

I remember living as a Kid and having to experience 4-5 typhons ever year..House was always under repair every year...every few years or so someone I know dies.

Really hoping everyone evacuated...

LOL...

She's a legal citizen. In her 60's and been here most her life.

She would not be employed where I work if she wasn't.

She probably make ~ $90k annual.

Absolutely insane video from 2013's Haiyan, similar in intensity to Patricia.

Yeah.. Just got off the phone with my fam down in Jalisco.. They're all dead, died while on the call..it's a total loss

your straw hut didn't hold up so well?

[apalisoc_9]

your straw hut didn't hold up so well?

No. Then we lived in bricks and it didn't last either..

tougher wooden houses are more safe in extreme conditions....

Nothing wrong with living in straw huts tbh...
