Hurricane Patricia

I remember Haiyan. Here is its little sister. Patricia is a monster, most severe tropical cyclone in this part of the world ever recorded. 



You know El Nino is behind it. Abnormally warm water in the Pacific. Like gas on a fire, it pumps energy into these monster storms. 

It will ravage parts of the Mexican coast and that is an awful thing, I hope people take precautions and get out. Those who can't, I hope they find a safe place.

Beyond this awful landfall, the sub-jet stream will push this moisture onto parts of my native Tx, where it might be needed but too much at one time is not a good thing. 

Patricia will go on into mountainous parts of Mexico and that will break up the storm, hopefully. You never know nowadays.
