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.

The marchers are not in the USA. This is not Trump’s problem, but the media will act as if it is his problem.
The solution is to put them right back on the buses that brought them there, and take them back home.
The organizers are willing to put the lives of these people in danger to bring Trump down.

Somebody in Mexico should think this through. There's this hurricane and another storm south of it that could hit not much after. What the heck is Mexico going to do with more than 10,000 people with no transportation or housing in addition to the challenges in the aftermath of a major storm? If those storms stay on track, is the horde trapped? Mygosh, think of looting after a storm even when most outsiders have left the area.
The sensible thing to do would be to find a large stadium somewhere, force them to wait out the storm there and provide tents and supplies, then send them home.

Just being selfish but I hope after this hurricane swamps the Cholo Invasion that it turns into a tropical storm and swings northwest of Arizona.

The intent of the internationalists would be, to blame trump for the deaths of 10’s of thousands of international ‘refugees’, because he is so hateful towards people of color...
THAT is how they would spin such a tragedy... I can hear them licking their chops and drooling over that opportunity.
YES they are that evil.

According to the maps on weatherbud HWilla seems on a course to collide with a Tropical Depression somewhere nesr Guadalajara. Two systems merging like that could be catastrophic.

Willa peaked as a category 5, but not for long. It has a clouded center and excessive amounts of convection in the SW sector. It looks like it will dramatically weaken before landfall.

Even so, they’ll be going thru a storm ravaged area. Probably not enough supplies for the locals much less thousands of leeches. Not to mention walking thru the trees and buildings and cars that could be strewn about.

These scenes make me think of a zombie movie staring Matt Damon with the zombies swarming up a high Israeli wall and tumbling over the top. Some Freeper periodically posts a short gif of that scene. It is really creepy.

You can add one more homophone. To describe what lots of us did in Bangkok.

Well gee, Mexico, that's just one hell of an humanitarian crisis you got there.
Let us know if you need anything...
We'll think about it.
