But, seriously, prayers up because this is going to be ug-lee! I’ve been to Mexico many times; won’t ever go again, but it does have it’s charms in the safer parts of the country.

So sad. Death and destruction, homes collapsed and strewn across the land, raw sewage flowing in the street . . . and now this hurricane.

Powerful, but the eye looks pretty tight. The highest winds should not cover too large of an area.

Hey, what’s the deal? We move from the east coast to Arizona to get away from hurricanes. Looks like they’re following us. This one is supposed to be the strongest storm ever recorded? Zamboni, baton up the hatches.

Great, more illegals. Sorry, but after 3 decades of fighting this invasion I have become numb to their plight.

As if Mexico didn’t have enough problems already. We all know too that when Mexico has a problem it becomes America’s problem too.

Obama has planes standing by to bring all effected to the US instead of providing Money and material so they can rebuild

[Mexican authorities declared a state of emergency on Friday in the states of Colima, Nayarit and Jalisco, and residents and tourists soon began evacuating coastal areas.]

That’s a rather late notice for evacuation.
