Impressive!

BTW, I moved this into the science corner as one can discuss this better here as meteorology fits the bill.

We maybe get rain once every year in Arizona. It's been stormy and raining like we're living in Seattle for the past week ffs.

This thing is massive if we're feeling any effects.

Ouch. This hurricane is billed "strongest hurricane ever recorded" by the media. Looks like it could turn into a veritable catastrophe for the people where it will make landfall.

Sending positive vibes that way. That's a monstrous storm based on the pictures taken from space.

Hopefully the meteorologists are right and it weakens significantly when it hits land, but it's still likely going to do a lot of damage. Mexico doesn't have the best economy as well so this could be severe for them on many different levels.

That picture is ridiculous. That's some 'day after tomorrow' bullshit right there. Hopefully it does indeed ease up when it hits land, but even then it would probably still be doing some frightening damage.

Excellent news, Its fallen down to a category 2 storm from a category 5 storm.
