Hurricane Patricia, once considered the strongest hurricane in meteorological history, threatened Mexico's west coast with winds of 325 km/h. The government declared a maximum alert for 400,000 people. However, upon landfall, Patricia weakened rapidly from a category 5 hurricane to a tropical storm within 12 hours. Initial fears of severe damage were alleviated as reports indicated minimal impact. President Enrique Peña Nieto addressed the nation, urging continued caution and sheltering. Security forces are patrolling to ensure safety. Patricia is expected to weaken further, though intense rains affect northwest Mexico.
