History is being made tonight in the Northeast Pacific as Hurricane Patricia churns about 200 miles off the coast of Mexico, south-southwest of Manzanillo. With its 11 pm EDT Thursday advisory, the National Hurricane Center upgraded Patricia to Category 5, with top sustained winds of 160 mph and a central pressure of 924 millibars. Hurricane warnings are now in effect for the coast from San Blas to Punta San Telmo, including Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo, with a hurricane watch and tropical storm warning eastward to Lazaro Cardenas. Update: Late Thursday night, an Air Force Hurricane Hunter flight captured some of the most extreme observations ever recorded in 70 years of reconnaissance activity. Based on flight-level winds of 179 knots (206 mph), NHC upgraded Patricia's strength at 12:30 am EDT Friday to 185 mph. The estimated surface pressure of 892 mb is the lowest on record for the Northeast Pacific, and it ranks #3 for the entire Western Hemisphere behind only Wilma (882 mb, on October 19, 2005) and Gilbert (888 mb, on September 13, 1988). A surface reading of 892 mb was recorded at Key West during the Labor Day hurricane (September 2, 1935).

but almost 50 percent dont care. :)
and maybe a few more but they can be swayed.
that’s our problem here at FR. We dont have a MAJOR outlet to wake them up.
just the conservative sites that conservatives go to, even since cronkite on, they “mainstream” news is controlled by left.
social media has really helped, but still 20 or 30 million watching the alphabets.
not surrending just looking for asnwer.
bttt
Oh.
Webcams set up along Mexico’s coastline are streaming live video as the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Pacific Ocean prepares to make landfall.
Here’s page of four live webcam’s showing Hurricane hitting coast...
They have no protective dune line and structures are not elevated. The storm surge is going to just tear up some oceanfront property. That would be true of just a run-of-the-mill hurricane. If this remains a 5 it’ll take it all down to concrete slab several blocks inland.
See the waterspout in that squall line?
Yes...
This hurricane was caused by Al Gore’s private jet. FU Al, you soon to be murderer.
WoW! What a ride uh!!
Don’t know...might be formation of water funnel or something like...
Rainwater shooting out of a gutter on the roof of the building, above where the person with the camera was located.
what’s the current threat to the states?
Mostly Texas....here’s a good video of the force of the hurricane as it hit the coastal area....
