seems to be near anniversary of patricias nastiness in barra.. that was an experience.. beautiful storm but wow.
From what i have read, Patricia wasnt that bad at all because of the evacuations and the super rapid weakening because of it's tiny core.
Patricia was no joke at landfall - at 130 knots still the strongest landfall on record on Western Mexico, but it’s saving grace was, much like Monica, that it hit a sparsely populated area.
perula was yes sparsely populated but the wobbly eye and intensification landed squarely on colimilla, where 15 homes lost roofs , some losing all contents of homes, and church went away and church bell blew away--that thing was heavy and old... may have been easy for you and yours but for those if us in colimilla and barra, it was no bludi joke. boat nextto me lost mast. marina electrical boxes were knocked over and cell towers toppled, and so much more damages. faarms disappeared all fruittrees ended up gone complete with fruit which was ready to harvest....
the landfall winds were much easier than the second half winds.. you should have been there,,makes a difference if you are under the storm or not..and the alleged landfall was not only one place was 2..perula got only a small amount..and colimilla got slammed. and talk with the captain of the grain carrier that was driven onto our rock, just the other side of the spine along the peninsula.. he could not see squat and was parked on the beach cracked in half. ship is still there. so tell us again how easy the storm was.
remember those who didnot experience it not to down talk the issue with folks who survived it. puerto vallarta was no where near th4e trajectory of patricia. yet they sound off more than those of us who knew her so well.
AND THERE WAS NO EVACUATION
