Hi I\u2019m here to talk about Hurricane Patricia because its a very scary situation for those in Mexico, and I think that people aren\u2019t talking about it as much as they should be.<\/p>\n

Hurricane Patricia is a very big hurricane<\/i>. Think about the biggest hurricane you\u2019ve witnessed in your lifetime. Charlie? Katrina? They devastated thousands of homes across the east coast.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a picture of Katrina compared to Patricia, for reference\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hurricane Patricia is the largest <\/i>hurricane ever recorded. Ever. It has the fastest winds ever measured, with sustained winds at 165-195 [1][2] and gusts up to 235 mph [2]. It has the lowest pressure of any hurricane, and has a diameter of 10 km [2]. The last hurricane to have this much power was recorded in 1979 in the Philippines. This hurricane, Typhoon Haiyan had sustainable winds at 195, and killed 6,000 people [2].\u00a0<\/p>\n

Patricia is expected to have rain from 8-12in and flash flooding up to 20in in localized areas [3]. They have also said that waves of up to 12 feet may flood the beaches as well [3]. It is also expected to remain a Cat 5 as it pushes through Mexico and towards the southern parts of the U.S. [2].\u00a0<\/p>\n

Please keep Mexico in your thoughts, and to anyone that\u2019s in Mexico right now, please stay safe and stay inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
