PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico (AP) - Hurricane Patricia roared onshore in southwestern Mexico on Friday evening, bringing lashing rains, surging seas and cyclonic winds with what forecasters called a potential to cause "catastrophic" damage.
The storm's center made landfall near Cuixmala, about 55 miles (85 kilometers) west-northwest of the port city of Manzanillo. Record wind speeds measured earlier in the day had fallen off somewhat to 165 mph (270 kph), the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said, but Patricia was still an extremely dangerous Category 5 storm.

In satellite imagery that I’ve seen, the eye wall appeared to have fairly rapidly become disorganized offshore before landfall, which is sort of odd. They’ll be spared from the most severe part of a hurricane.
No accusations ... just that ... the storm has not been "normal"
Kind'a like the Trump campaign, Presidency
/8^)
I think it is making landfall in mountainous region. At least that is what a graphic I saw earlier suggested.
If that is the case, the eye wall will be ripped to shreds as soon as it gets anywhere near them.
The downside is heavy rains will cause landslides and mudslides.
I’ve checked the webcams in the areas near landfall and it doesn’t look all that bad.
Mountainous areas tend to do that to the eye
MEXICO to USA: Send money
USA to MEXICO: How much?
I’ve seen that map before ... very onteresting .... and IMO ... basically upper atmosphere
You might find this tool interesting. I pointed it at Mexico and zoomed in a little.
It looks like it is going into a funnel. Weird.

I hope people in the area were able to evacuate to somewhere, like relatives in Orlando, Chicago, or Phoenix. Or maybe they used a tunnel dug into the USA.

Thats an awesome site - thanks for the link
Answered prayer.
Hopefully- the drug lords/state protection rackets and muzzie infiltrators will find good safe haven. Otherwise, who will Our administration, have business, with?
The hurricane was a dud. Category 1 already after a few hours. Hey those global warming freaks are going to be depressed.
