Next thing you'll see is a bunch of makeshift kites just off the border. Once that wind hits, it'll be smooth sailing all the way into America.

Something else besides the cartels to kill massive amounts of Mexicans.

It's not difficult for me to envision this. It'll go down as the biggest illegal border crossing in history.

Apparently it's rapidly weakening but it's still dangerous.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami says Hurricane Patricia has weakened to barely a Category 4 storm, with sustained winds of 130 mph (215 kph).

The storm made landfall Friday evening on Mexico's Pacific coast as a monstrous Category 5 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 165 mph (270 kph).

But it is rapidly losing steam as it moves over a mountainous region just inland from the shore.

Late Friday, its center was about 50 miles (75 kilometers) southeast of the resort city of Puerto Vallarta, where rain began to fall harder than it had all day but there was still no sign of strong winds.

They say it was at one point the most powerful hurricane recorded. The Weather Channel is in total panic mode.

It all turned out to be a bit of a storm in a teacup. If they hadn't have warned people and it had turned out really bad the the fingers would have been pointing. Better safe than sorry, besides I don't think they can tell how bad it will really be until it hits land.

Will someone here be updating the "Natural Disaster and Extreme Weather" sub forum on this event after it's over?

Its a Category 1 not a 5.
