Bush’s fault. Bush and those damned SUVs.
Womyn and minorities will be hardest hit.
THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED—EVER-—IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!!!!
Therefore, it’s man-made climate change.
Want to bet Obama will want to bring thousands of Mexicans affected by this to the US instead of sending money and supplies so they can rebuild . When something like this hits the US do people rebuild or do they run to Canada or Europe
Strongest? How soon history is rewritten. Camille had winds of 200mph at landfall in Mississipi. Ironically news says that shelters in Mexico are military staffed and fully stocked with food and water. Let’s see. If true, shame on FEMA here.
200 mph is NOT the “strongest hurricane ever recorded” here in North America. What shoddy “journalism.”
Racist hurricane attacks Mexico
Women and minorities will be hit hardest
Obama will use this to get a few hundred thousand more Mexicans into the U.S.
Crisis = opportunity to further destroy America.
I thought that the big storms in the Pacific were called Typhoons.
Tongue firmly planted in cheek.

Strange. When we got our first TV back in 1956, we learned a lot about hurricanes in the Atlantic hitting the USA and destroying everything in sight.
There was Never a mention of a Pacific hurricane hitting anywhere.
Then in the 1970s the news began to report on Pacific hurricanes.
I believe it is most definitely the strongest Pacific storm...but not necessarily the strongest world-wide.
I believe there have been hurricanes in the Atlantic with sustained winds that topped 200 mph.
For example, I believe hurricane Wilma, that hit Florida in 2005, had winds at or near 209 MPH. One well known scientist, Dr. Eric Uhlhorn of NOAA’s Hurricane Research Division, presented a scholarly paper in 2012 where he posited this.
But as with all of these “top sustained winds,” it is only an estimate.
I also believe that hurricane Allen from 1980, had sustained winds over 200 MPH, though the official “estimate,” was 190 MPH.
It hard to tell because the hurricane hunter aircraft measure wind at altitude and then based on some pretty deep mathematical formulas, they estimate the ground winds. The best place to measure the ground winds is, of course, at the surface, and those are hard to come by given the obvious issues with measuring a 200 MPH wind at the place it is happening.
But there is no doubt at all that this hurricane is the strongest Pcific Storm, and it is not done yet. It may yet prove to be undoubtedly the strongest storm of all time.
Who is in charge of the Haliburton Hurricane Machine now?
Like Camille, Patricia is a small, compact hurricane - Cat 5 winds only 15 nm across. Bad day for people in the impact zone, but not as widespread a disaster zone as, say, Katrina.
We need to make sure that we send the same amount of help to Mexico as they have for Katrina and other hurricanes.
Good thing there is almost nothing where the storm hit.
