'Potentially catastrophic' Hurricane Willa takes aim at Mexico as a Category 5 storm
ABC News ^ | 22 Oct 18 | Max Golembo

Posted on 10/22/2018 12:48:22 PM PDT by SkyPilot

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.

Wow, wouldn’t it be something if the storm scattered the mob.

Well, that might be one way to take care of the caravan.

Looks like it’ll wreak havoc on a vast swath of land in front of them, including part of Southeastern Texas, but won’t be throwing the caravan-ists up in the air, just slowing them down.

Going to need a good flush to wash away all the excrement from thousands of semi-feral turd worlders that care little about hygiene.

"Wow, wouldn’t it be something if the storm scattered the mob."

If it did, Democrats and Leftist Media would blame it on Trump.

Invading Hoard, is the correct term. Caravan has a different meaning.

“Wow, wouldn’t it be something if the storm scattered the mob.”

Scattering isn’t enough! Mother Nature is giving Mexico a enema! It will be “interesting” to see what’s in the “effluent!”

Horde is the spelling. It means a crowd, a mob etc. Hoard means to keep a lot of stuff, especially more than you need.

The storm will be the excuse to let in tens of thousands who claim they are climate change migrants.

Then it’ll be Trump’s fault x2.
