This is going to be devastating for the area. I have a trip booked in march, with 250mph winds and 40' waves, I'm not sure how much will be left of Puerto Vallarta and surrounding areas. This will be more destructive than Katrina. It's hard to know if climate change and global warming trends will lead to more frequent major hurricanes (cat 4 and 5) over the long haul, but this year in the Pacific basin, the record for major hurricanes has also been broken. Patricia is the ninth major hurricane this year.
