Parts of Texas were slammed by driving rainstorms Friday as emergency crews braced for the full impact of Hurricane Patricia, which could bring up to a foot of rain and trigger flash flooding across the state.
Hurricane Patricia, one of the strongest hurricanes ever recorded, is being fueled by El Niño, a weather phenomenon that continues to gain strength in the Pacific Ocean, scientists say.
Residents of a stretch of Mexico’s Pacific Coast dotted with resorts and fishing villages boarded up homes and bought supplies ahead of Friday’s arrival of Hurricane Patricia, a monster Category 5 storm that forecasters say is the strongest ever recorded in the Western Hemisphere.
