Hurricane Patricia: 200 MPH Strongest storm ever

will land in Mexico later today with winds so strong it will level buildings, launch planes and cars through the air, and even blow people away. Hopefully they get everyone evacuated before it lands.

Thanks Obama

All kidding aside this sounds awful. I read a book by Erik Larson called Isaacs Storm about the Galveston hurricane at the turn of the century that leveled the city. Thank goodness we can see these storms coming now and get people as far away as possible- at least in the developed world. Prayers and best thoughts for Mexico. Any word on the storms likely path after Mexico? Has Trump claimed yet that his border wall will keep out Mexican hurricanes?

Hurricane Donald will be lingering behind smirking the entire time.

“As ocean temperatures continue to warm as a result of human-caused climate change, we expect hurricanes to intensify, and we expect to cross new thresholds. Hurricane Patricia and her unprecedented 200 mile-per-hour sustained winds appears to be one of them now, unfortunately,” Michael Mann, Penn State University.

A conversation about climate change denial is really long overdue in this country.

Supposedly it's too late and they shut down the roads out. All the roads out lead to narrow mountain roads.

A select certain humans, maybe.

About as useful as the gun control conversation. It's one of those things the disbelievers either have to learn on their own somehow or they have to stop caring about it so deeply that they ignore information that's pretty clear to everyone else.

Not sure why climate change became such an issue to be passionately against, but it is.

Gun control is different in that there are at least some levels in which one can support or disagree with it. With man made climate change, it either exists or it doesn't.

Man this sucks for Manzanillo...I've been there before (trying to visit all of Mexico), its a huge tourist area in Mexico and one of the safer places to go (went to see the "Green Flash")...a lot of it is going to be destroyed, and I bet tourism is their primary source of income there...hope they can rebuild quickly.

I'm not sure I would say this.

I just wish we could have a rational conversation about it.

I don't think they even had a chance to get everyone out.

It went from a tropical depression to what it is now in less than 30 hours . No way they could get each of the 7-10 million people in the cross hairs out if it's path.

This is a really good read btw, on mobile so can only link.

Try having a rational conversation with a parent about why their kid should be held back a grade or deserved to be kicked out of class.

There's people that just can't do it. They can't accept it, and it's a pet issue they're very defensive about.

I have no idea why.

I wonder if hoomans have ever observed storms strengthening or weakening on other planets over time because of man made climate change.

Speaking of Galveston, 1st year I was living in Houston was when Ike hit...holy shit did that place get smashed. Place has rebuilt fast as hell though, but it is such a poorly placed and protected city for hurricanes.

The climate change convo always goes nowhere. Albeit interesting.
