Mexico braces for strongest hurricane in Western hemisphere

YOUR DESCRIPTION HAS REACHED THE LIMIT OF CHARACTERS ALLOWED AND WAS CUT. MANZANILLO, Mexico (CBS NEWS) -- Hurricane Patricia headed toward southwestern Mexico Friday as a monster Category 5 storm, the strongest ever in the Western Hemisphere that forecasters said could make a potentially catastrophic landfall later in the day. Residents of a stretch of Mexico's Pacific Coast dotted with resorts and fishing villages on Thursday boarded up homes and bought supplies ahead of Patricia's arrival. With maximum sustained winds near 200 mph, Patricia is the strongest storm ever recorded in the eastern Pacific or in the Atlantic, said Dave Roberts, a hurricane specialist at the U.S. National Hurricane Center. Patricia's power was comparable to that of Typhoon Haiyan, which left more than 7,300 dead or missing in the Philippines two years ago, according to the U.N.'s World Meteorological Organization. This is really, really, really strong, WMO spokeswoman Clare Nullis told a U.N. briefing in Geneva, according to Reuters. In Mexico, officials declared a state of emergency in dozens of municipalities in Colima, Nayarit and Jalisco states that contain the bustling port of Manzanillo and the posh resort of Puerto Vallarta. The governor of Colima ordered schools closed on Friday, when the storm was forecast to make what the Hurricane Center called a potentially catastrophic landfall. Teams of police and civil protection were walking along Puerto Vallarta's waterfront Friday morning advising people to evacuate. According to the 2010 census, there were more than 7.3 million inhabitants in Jalisco state and more than 255,000 in Puerto Vallarta municipality. There were more than 650,000 in Colima state, and more than 161,000 in Manzanillo. Evacuations were under way in Puerto Vallarta Friday, with officials taking people to 14 shelters, mostly in schools, according to the Jalisco government's webpage. Exact numbers of those evacuated were not immediately available. Luis Felipe Puente Espinosa, national coordinator for civil protection, said that three airports in the path of Patricia in southwestern Mexico have been shut down as the storm approaches. Roberto Ramirez, the director of Mexico's National Water Commission, which includes the nation's meteorological service, said that Hurricane Patricia will be powerful enough to lift up automobiles, destroy homes that are not sturdily built with cement and steel and will be able to drag along people caught outside when the storm strikes. Ramirez said that the people in the most danger from the hurricane will be those on the coast, especially in the state of Jalisco. Rain pounded Manzanillo late Thursday while people took last-minute measures ahead of Patricia, which quickly grew from a tropical storm into a Category 5 hurricane, leaving authorities scrambling to make people safe. At a Wal-Mart in Manzanillo, shoppers filled carts with non-perishables as a steady rain fell outside. Veronica Cabrera, shopping with her young son, said Manzanillo tends to flood with many small streams overflowing their banks. She said she had taped her windows at home to prevent them from shattering. Alejandra Rodriguez, shopping with her brother and mother, was buying 10 liters of milk, a large jug of water and items like tuna and canned ham that do not require refrigeration or cooking. The family already blocked the bottoms of the doors at their home to keep water from entering. Manzanillo's main street really floods and cuts access to a lot of other streets. It ends up like an island, Rodriguez said. In Puerto Vallarta, restaurants and stores taped or boarded-up windows, and residents raced to stores for last-minute purchases ahead of the storm. The Hurricane Center in Miami warned that preparations should be rushed to completion, saying the storm could cause coastal flooding, destructive waves and flash floods. This is an extremely dangerous, potentially catastrophic hurricane, center meteorologist Dennis Feltgen said. Feltgen said Patricia also poses problems for Texas. Forecast models indicate that after the storm breaks up over land, remnants of its tropical moisture will likely combine with and contribute to heavy rainfall that is already soaking Texas independently of the hurricane, he said. It's only going to make a bad situation worse, he said. In Colima, authorities handed out sandbags to help residents protect their homes from flooding. Patricia's maximum sustained winds had increased to 200 mph - a Category 5 storm, the highest designation on the Saffir-Simpson scale used to quantify a hurricane's wind strength. At 11:00 am Friday, Patricia was located about 125 miles southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico, and about 195 miles south of Cabo Corrientes, Mexico. Patricia is moving north at 10 mph and continues to have maximum sustained winds remain near 200 mph with higher gusts. It was on a projected track to come ashore between Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta sometime Fri

Dolphins in Mexico Feb 2011 MVI_1181.AVI

(#2 of 3 dolphin video's) 16 February 2011 -- Huge pod of dolphins between La Manzilla and Melaque, Jalisco, Mexico. Unfortunately the photography is quite jumpy, due to the excitement of seeing hundreds of dolphins and trying to film at the same time. There are still many beautiful creatures to be seen in this short video. It was stunning, breathtaking. Our boat was surrounded by these dolphins swimming close to us.
