Bring that fucking rain to California goddamit - if it was colder I'd pray to the snow gods for a solid start to the shred season.
Well wishes and good luck to the Mexicans caught in its path - this might have a bit of a death toll with it.

and well wishes to the americans when it crosses mexico...its on track to run up through north texas into oklahoma and essentially ride tornado alley. Pumping hurricane sized energy into tornado alley could spawn monumental tornados.

I thought they were all named after women until a few years ago.
Damn global warming...er, cooling...er, climate change. Bush and SUVs are causing all of this turmoil.

For your physical health I recommend holing up in some sturdily built hotel, and for your mental health I recommend inviting a girl along "just for safety".

Am I the only one thinking that this will spawn our own "refugee" problem. Meaning 10 refugees and 2 million others looking for an easy ticket to the US.

How will the US get cocaine, meth, and molly after the destruction? Prices are going to go up! Glad I am not partying currently.

Fortunately, the wind field is very narrow. The strongest winds only extend 3-5 miles from the center of circulation. Where the storm lands is going to be very important. Hurricane force winds extend some 30 miles from the center.
Here are some wind swaths for comparison.
Sandy
Patricia
Katrina
Unfortunately I was unable to find one for hurricane Andrew or Hugo. I guess wind swath graphs don't go that far back.

Has anyone here actually come close to experiencing actual 200mph winds or near to it?
I've experienced 80mph and that was pretty chaotic. Whats 150mph+ like?

As a South Floridian who has been through some 'canes, I hope the folks in Mexico deal well with this storm.
Also, don't forget hurricane Andrew that really destroyed parts of the Miami area. That's not a woman's name. Actually, it's MY name! #facepalm

I was thinking of going in December, I wonder how the situation will be in two months.
I have Mexican friends right now who are calling their family members in places like Jalisco, Michoacan, and Zacatecas. It seems like its going to hit central Mexico the hardest.
We have a few RVF members in Guadalajara, and I hope they are ok, if not RUN for safety.
My prayers are with the Mexican people. Mexicans are some tough motherfuckers. They'll get through it.
Aguante Mexico!

This is the strongest storm ever recorded in the western hemisphere. So nobody has experienced a storm this powerful. Andrew broke the wind gauge at Miami International Airport. Estimated gusts were around 200mph, but this storm is
sustained 190mph as of this post. So gusts should easily top 200, probably closer to 210-220. Wind speed wise, the only thing that can really compare is a tornado, but they are so different it really isn't comparable.
My house shook during Sandy, and I was well away from the center being in Northwest NJ. I don't think the house would have stood at 150+. The area this storm hits is fucked. On the coast the winds and storm surge. Inland there will be mudslides.

Were you in Broward County during Andrew? My good friend was living right on Biscayne Bay in what is now known as Midtown/Edgewater in Miami. He told me there were balls of lightning floating in the air during the storm. He said the scariest thing was the sky and the bay becoming one.

Every hurricane, if it's got anything going for it at all, is now the "strongest ever" or the "worst ever" is some other way.
The hype-mongers are backtracking already. Earlier in the day it was "historic, mind-boggling, catastrophic":
Now it's already down to just "incredibly strong":
Two years ago, they were lying about Typhoon Haiyan, claiming it was the strongest on record. In fact it was seventh strongest:
Patricia is a strong storm but the immediately adopted and endlessly repeated "strongest ever" propaganda is disgusting and its only purpose is to continue fueling climate alarmism and hysteria.
(All credit for the info to the invaluable
Steve Goddard, aka Tony Heller).

@Lizard
In terms of wind speed, this is the strongest hurricane ever recorded. In terms of pressure it was off by about 10mb. The storm just made landfall with wind speeds of 165mph. Fortunately, the eye started going through the regeneration process just before landfall, weakening it significantly.
Worst ever is subjective. Usually they measure it in terms of dollars in damage or loss of human life, but that is dependent on where the storm hits.
