Damn, I went to Puert Vallarta two years ago. I have had a vacation planned since June to go back. That's three weeks from now... All I can think about is the cab driver we had last time we were there and how we planned to contact him again. He has a wife and 4 kids, I hope he and his family stays safe (along with everyone else there).
 
Not that far from here, i hope it doesnt cause much damage people need to be careful so thats where all that rain comes from...
 
Has there been any mention of it going into the gulf and intensifying again and posing a possible threat to the u.s?

Everything I've read suggests that the mountainous terrain it's going over in Mexico will likely be the end of Patricia.

So far 0 casualties according to state autorities. Let's hope it keeps that way.

I got to say, for all its shortcomings, we in Mexico are very well prepared for contingencies like this ever since the 1985 earthquake. I watched some scary footage with the wind and the trees and it scared the shit out of me. I hope in the end there is no catastrophe and everyone is well and healthy.

The remnants of Patricia will dump flooding rains on Texas and Louisiana, just because it's not organized doesn't mean there won't be significant rainfall from it in the USA in the coming days.

Hurricanes have survived landfall before, and will survive it again.

In this case I think odds are strongly against, since (1) it seems like it will stay inland, and (2) it has to deal with some mountains. Even if it drifts back into the Gulf, there may not be enough left of it to do anything.

Eh ok fair enough. It just seems really unlikely to me, and somewhat unnecessary to worry about right now.

It is unlikely, but look at what Ivan did in 2004...That was even less likely!

Guadalajara Gaf here to report a sad story. There were 2 birds taking shelter outside next to my window. I tried to open the window a bit to let then in since they couldn't really hold on , but the act of opening the window scared them and now they're in the tree up front :(
