Dangerous Hurricane Patricia poised to hit Mexico

[Tim Paitz]

I would not be surprised to see some weird and "unplanned for" damage, possibly causing some serious issues. For example, during Hurricane Katrina in Biloxi, casino barges and ships were carried inland and plowed into buildings. I have not been in that region for many years, but I do recall some major high rise buildings set right on the beach. Hopefully, they completely evacuated those buildings. My understanding is that some hotels could not be evacuated so they are requiring guests to stay in their rooms, or maybe even more disturbing, moved them into the mountains. There could easily be 20 inches+ of rain hitting the mountains creating insane floods and mudslides.

I was thinking about that too Warren. Sometimes the hurricane may not be the most dangerous part about an area (which is not the case this time). At least josh and erik aren't in sinaloa.

Well it looks like she's crossing the shore, with the strongside eyewall somewhere near San Patricio

Interesting, so that came before this other report where he talks about the building blowing apart:

Wonder if we'll get some video of that? Or if needing to take shelter that side of things had to pass.
