It has a wide swath. Every town between Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta are going to sustain catastrophic damage.

As someone who has been through and at both towns, I sincerely hope that folks who did not evacuate remain safe.

What, no advice on what everybody should do and how you would do it. Nice to see you still never come down here, although I am sure we would all be better with your knowledge of every hurricane that hits. Thanks for finally keeping your knowledge to yourself, albeit always trolling for someone to listen to you.

May the powers that be,be with our country, where WE live.

Current track shows it hit land half way between PV & Manzanilla, and center should pass about 50 miles NNW'ly of Colima and Guadalajara.
Wind at landfall was called 165, call it a15% reduction in wind speed from its over-the-water high of 200.

From different sources, looks like the speed of the storm matched the speed of its' growth (tropical storm to Cat 5 in 30 hours!). Luck has everything to do with its' path and landfall, could have been truly catastrophic... most senior meteorologists are shaking their heads on this one, and most agree El Niņo effect was the principal exacerbator. Amazingly as of this morning it's still a Cat 1 and is over half-way across the Sierras headed for Texas; it ain't over yet.

Glad to hear our Mainland Nomads 'weathered' the storm well. :biggrin:

I did not know heroines are a farm product. Wonder Woman tomatoes? Rosa Parks corn? Mother Teresa Brussels sprouts?

I enjoyed Bajaguy's reply. Seemed more plausible than heroin/e speculations.
