At 7 a.m. CDT Saurday, the center of Tropical Storm Patricia was located 35 miles (55 km) northeast of Zacatecas, Mexico, and was moving toward the north-northeast at 21 mph (33 kph). Maximum sustained winds were 50 mph, a decrease of 25 mph from the 4 a.m. advisory.

The eye of Hurricane Patricia made landfall Friday at 6:15 p.m. CDT near Cuixmala in Jalisco state of southwest Mexico. Maximum sustained winds at landfall were estimated at 165 mph, still firmly within the Category 5 range on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.

An automated weather observation site in Cuixmala reported a 185-mph wind with a gust of 211 mph at the time of landfall, but NOAA cautioned that these measurements have not been evaluated for quality or calibration.

The landfall point was about 60 miles (96 km) northwest of Manzanillo, where tropical storm-force winds likely occurred."

Flooding in Texas is now the concern.

Be safe to all our Texas friends.

Apparently no fatalities and little major damage. Incredible how a monster storm can weaken so quickly. Lily did that to us about 20 years ago. Thought it was going to wipe us off the map as a 4 and weakened to a 2 just a few hours before landfall.

Just like a highly ranked preseason college football team, Hurricane Patrick fizzled out when met with adversity.
