More like an EF3 tornado. The difference being "reduce houses to rubble" versus "strip the asphalt from a roadbed" (which has been recorded in EF5's). But a tornado's about a kilometer wide or so. Patricia's 100 times as wide.

 

If anyone's wondering why you're only first hearing about it...it pretty much came out of nowhere. 24 hours ago it was a tropical storm. Central pressure dropped about 120mb in a day, and 45mb in two hours this morning, which is unreal.

Just visited the nhc.noaa.gov site -- damn, the folks in the way of that storm are f**ked. Given the lack of significant advance warning, I don't like the way this is looking...

BTW, was just reading an article and it had this line in it

 

 

 

Hurricane hunters who are flying through Patricia are reporting sustained winds of 200 mphand even stronger gusts.

I mean, i am pooping my pants if i have to fly when its raining and 15 MPH winds....how in the hell do these guys get into those planes and fly INTO a hurricane. Can someone smart here explain why those things don't crash?
