Hurricane Patricia

Hurricane Patricia to reach Mexican shores in about 5 hours as the first -or second- "category 6" hurricane. With sustained winds of 335 km/h and gusts of 405 km/h it is also expected to cause torrential rains.

Those wind speeds are associated with basic pressures up to 800 kg/m2. Just for the sake of comparison those pulsing pressures would crack and even break 3-inch thick reinforced concrete slabs designed to support light loads.

Stay tuned.
