Chipster Report post Posted October 23, 2015 Yep, hope Jason is getting away to PHX until that passes. Isn't Scotty's vacation place there too? Hope this thing dies down more before coming ashore any. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pockmark Report post Posted October 23, 2015 That is a NASTY beast. I can only pray all those who are in the area near the path have already left. Anyone who stays or couldnt get out is in SERIOUS risk. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenh766 Report post Posted October 23, 2015 I have a friend down there that didn't seem to think this was a big deal when I spoke to her this morning... I just checked in with her 20 minutes ago and she's scared as shit now. Riding it out in a house with no shutters and not even a bathtub to hole up in if things get real bad. Its a concrete structure, so it should be OK, but this isn't going to be fun not knowing how they're doing for likely several weeks after the storm passes.

Gilligan740 Report post Posted October 23, 2015 Thinking of everyone in that region, especially the VP crew and Jason. I hope the Mexican government is ready to assist the local communities if there are problems tonight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow-really hope they make it through, but that is obviously a REALLY bad idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenh766 Report post Posted October 23, 2015 Wow-really hope they make it through, but that is obviously a REALLY bad idea. I know... shes about 20 miles west of Puerta Vallarta and it sounds like this is a small storm so hopefully she won't see the worst of it. I saw what Andrew did to homes that were built like fortresses so I'm probably more worried than she is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP66 Report post Posted October 23, 2015 My fiancé' and her friend have been in PV the last 3 days. They were evacuated from their hotel this morning and are currently en route to Guadalajara. Tons of traffic they said, but they should make it to safety before Patricia hits. Alaska Airlines waived all their change fees and even put them on a different carrier tomorrow, no charge Crazy some people didn't get out in time and have to hunker down to ride it out.

stevenh766 Report post Posted October 23, 2015 I dont want anyone to get scared but look: http://www.weather.com/storms/hurricane/ne...ia-mexico-coast "At 200 MPH, Hurricane Patricia Is Now the Strongest Tropical Cyclone Ever Recorded" Get them out if it is still possible, Puerto Vallarta is on route. If it is 20 miles south from Puerto Vallarta even worse. Of course strong compound should handle everything and anything but still. Trust me, I know. She doesn't have a way of getting out at this point. I told her to find a nice hotel or parking garage and ride it out in a stairwell, but shes choosing to stay at home... Not much I can do now. 5 PM forecast moved it east.... Hopefully it will keep trending that way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Report post Posted October 23, 2015 Just talked with my house manager, lots of rain and winds of about 38mph. Kind of normal stuff for the tropics. But the real test will be in the upcoming hours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the Mexican government is ready to assist the local communities if there are problems tonight. If not, the US Navy will be! Hoping everyone stays safe during this thing. I read that this will be one of the biggest storms on record. EDIT: It's reached land. https://www.facebook.com/KTRKHouston/videos...53432291959342/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLK85 Report post Posted October 24, 2015 That first part http://youtu.be/zfAyMwYyf7E Wow. And thats not even really that major yet. This wont be good. I see this will probably even affect the Formula one race in Austin. They are expecting double digit rain falls. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Report post Posted October 24, 2015 Formula 1 is probably not going to happen, 12" of rain expected. Our Villa is all Ok. A few broken pots and outside hanging light fixtures, but other than really wet outside furniture, all is good. The storm turned more north to Puerto Vallarta, still trying to reach Top Carbon.
