ByChristopherSherman The Associated Press PUERTO VALLARTA, MEXICO HurricanePatriciaroared onshore in southwestern Mexico on Friday evening, bringing lashing rains, surg- ing seas and cyclonic winds with what forecasters called a potential to cause "cata- strophic" damage. The storm's center made landfall near Cuixmala, about 55 miles west-north- west of the port city of Man- zanillo. Record wind speeds measured earlier in the day had fallen off somewhat to 165 mph, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said, but Patricia was still an extremely dangerous Cate- gory 5 storm. Residents and tourists hunkered down in shelters andhomesacrossastretchof Pacific coastline dotted with sleepy fishing villages and gleaming resorts, including Manzanillo and the popular beachcityofPuertoVallarta. Patricia's projected path was expected to quickly take it over mountainous terrain that is prone to dangerous flash floods and landslides. Strong winds whipped palm trees and powerful waves rolled ashore in the storm area. In Puerto Vallarta, resi- dents had reinforced homes withsandbagsandshopwin- dows with boards and tape, and hotels rolled up beach- front restaurants. The air- port was closed to flights and all but deserted, but lines formed at a bus station as people sought to buy tick- ets to Guadalajara and other inland destinations. At a Red Cross shelter, some 90 people waited anx- iously in the heavy, humid air, including senior citizens in wheelchairs and young children snuggled between their parents on mattresses on the floor. Carla Torres and her fam- ily sought refuge there in the afternoon,fearfulofwhatPa- tricia might do to her home just two blocks from a river inanareavulnerabletohigh winds. "Here we are with those who can give us help," Tor- res said. Patricia formed suddenly Tuesday as a tropical storm and quickly strengthened to ahurricane.Within30hours it had zoomed to a record- beating Category 5 storm, catching many off guard with its rapid growth. By Friday it was the most pow- erful hurricane on record in the Western Hemisphere, with a central pressure of 880millibarsandmaximum sustainedwindsthatpeaked at200mph,accordingtothe U.S.NationalHurricaneCen- ter in Miami. Patricia's power while still out at sea was comparable to that of Typhoon Haiyan, which left more than 7,300 deadormissinginthePhilip- pines two years ago, accord- ingtotheU.N.'sWorldMeteo- rologicalOrganization.More than 4 million people were displaced and over 1 million houses were destroyed or damaged in 44 provinces in the central Visayas region, a large cluster of islands. Mexicanofficials declared a state of emergency in doz- ens of municipalities in Co- lima, Nayarit and Jalisco states, and schools were closed.

The danger will spread to southeastern Texas and Louisiana through the rest of the week- end. Along the cold front today, less-intense show- ers and thunderstorms will stretch to the Great Lakes, where brisk winds will also blow. Ahead of the front, dry weather will dominate the East Coast. In the wake of the front, high pressure will keep most of the western third of the nation dry.
