Hurricane Rick close to Zihuatanejo Mexico

Hurricane Rick by Zihuatanejo Mexico

The barometer fell and the air was silent, hatches were battened down with the anticipation of "RICK" but he didn't show. 

Hurricane Rick, at wind speeds gusts of 190 mph,  a category five is the second most powerful storm on record to hit the Eastern Pacific.

Rick quickly formed just south of Mexico and quickly grew in strength as it headed north west, paralleling the Mexican coast, but too far off shore to feel more than a little effect on mainland Mexico and in particular Zihuatanejo where I live.

Look out Cabo San Lucas because here it comes heading straight for you as it turns north east as its full force slams into your coast.
