"We were fortunate as to where it made landfall"

Actually, THEY were fortunate. The merger of mexico and the USA has not been completed yet.

Hard to find anything about Patricia anymore.

Now it’s nothing more than a thunderstorm.

Makes you wonder how often such storms evolved and disappeared before satellite weather data was around.

From nothing to strongest Cat5 ever, then back to nothing within 24 hours, basically a 48 hour lifespan.

So they knew the eye was tight and headed toward mountains, yet they still hyped it as the strongest storm ever. Typical progressive fail. Confuse force with power.

Kind of funny how the promotion of the “Worst Storm Ever” dropped off the MSM over night.

" Hurricane Patricia left surprisingly little damage in its wake Saturday and quickly dissipated"

Meanwhile, the media was deeply disappointed.

I use this wind site every once in a while so I decided to check on the cat 5 hurricane. No eye was in the wind but out in the pacific there was a tight fast eye (still there). So if you want to check it out:

The classic tempest in a teapot. But the hype sure sold a lot of newspapers, didn’t it?

"Nature was good to us"

'Nature' my conservative, gun toting rump.

GOD was good to them, and they should all be on their knees thanking Him for being merciful and sparing them from 'death by deluge'.

[vpintheak]

GOD was good to them! God answered prayers!

We’ve moved from storm to severe storm to super storm to mega storm. What is next?
