Hurricane Willa strengthened to a powerful Category 5 storm Monday morning, taking aim at the Mexican coast and threatening to deliver life-threatening storm surge, wind and rain.
Now packing 160 mph winds, some strengthening was still possible for the storm Monday, making Willa "potentially catastrophic" for Mexico, the National Hurricane Center warned.
It's expected to weaken when it makes landfall Tuesday but is forecast to bring large waves, dangerous storm surge, gusty winds and heavy rain.
Mexico will begin to feel the impacts of Willa late Tuesday morning. The storm is forecast to make landfall south of Mazatlan Tuesday night as a major Category 3 hurricane or higher, potentially bringing life-threatening storm surge and flash floods farther inland.
Some regions of Mexico could see up to 18 inches of rain.

Thanks. The scene is horrifying and looks like an ant heap or the invaders from the South.

On the other side, there might be some good looting and pillaging to be had, though the optics of that would be bad for them and their backers.

I’m not a member of the correct
spelling police, but “hoard”
should be “horde”.
Winds won’t be a problem, but six
inches of rain will sure slow them
down, even if they’re traveling by
train, truck, or bus.

Oh, yeah. They’d say it because he got out of the Climate treaty. As if mother nature pays attention to such things. That’s how crazy they are. Or how stupid so many are to believe it.
