Mexico berdepan Taufan Patricia, netizen kongsi gambar 'menakutkan'

PERHATIAN masyarakat antarabangsa hari ini tertumpu kepada perkembangan Taufan Patricia yang kini sedang menghala ke barat daya Mexico.

Apa yang membimbangkan ialah taufan ini pada mulanya hanyalah ribut tropika, namun berubah menjadi taufan dalam tempoh tidak sampai 24 jam.

Dengan membawa angin pada anggaran kelajuan 260 km sejam, taufan yang diletakkan dalam kategori 5 ini dijangka akan turut membawa hujan lebat dan ombak besar.

Di laman sosial, warga Mexico rata-ratanya berkongsi keadaan semasa, selain persediaan mereka menghadapi taufan yang disifatkan sebagai sangat berbahaya ini.

This is my current view from my balcony. Never in my life have I seen anything like this before. The sun set like an hour ago so don't know how to explain.. so damn creepy.. #S5 #HurricanePatricia #mexico #ig_mexico #jalisco #exploremexico #igers #ig_masters

Pray with us for the state of Jalisco, Mexico. There is a level 4 hurricane warning and many of our friends and family from Marked by Heaven are based there. ❤️ #prayformexico #guadalajara #hurricanePatricia

First thunder and lightening of #hurricanepatricia2015 here @grandluxxe in #nuevovallarta. All our electronics are charged. Resort claims backup power and sanitation systems are adequate and in-service. Husband keeps ordering me double-tall tequila shots. #happybirthdaytome #birthdiversary #1stanniversary #hurricanepatricia

Hurricane Patricia is now a category 5 hurricane and should make landfall on the Mexican coast as a category 4 or 5 in the next couple of days! #scary #hurricanepatricia #mexico #hurricane

Update: 8pm intermediate update in #HurricanePatricia now a very dangerous Cat. 5 and making landfall near #PuertoVallarta #mexico ( Friday ). Change plans if you were heading there... This storm developed extremely fast due to very warm #elnino Pacific conditions. #travel #SF #Oakland #SanJose #BayArea #nbcbayarea @nbcbayarea

#REPOST Just before 10PM Thursday, #HurricanePatricia became an extremely dangerous category 5 hurricane with winds of 160mph. Unbelievably, this was only a tropical storm 24 hours ago. For as much rain as this will send to Texas over the weekend, I'm just terrified for the folks in Mexico in the path of this monster. Patricia's circulation will get shredded by Mexico's mountainous terrain, but it will send an immense amount of moisture and a strong upper level disturbance into Texas, increasing our risk of flash flooding, especially late Saturday into Sunday. #Houston #HoustonTx #HoustonWeather #HouWeather #Texas #HoustonTexas #TexasWeather #HoustonHeat #DianasWeather #Galveston #GalvestonTx #GalvestonWeather #SoutheastTexas #setx #se #HarrisCounty #Alief #AliefTx #southwesthouston #swhtx #HoustonFloods #houstonrain #houstonskies #HoustonLife #texasskies #texans #Houstonians

Taufan Patricia dijangka melanda kawasan terbabit dalam tempoh 24 jam.

Selain Mexico, bandaraya Texas di Amerika Syarikat dijangka akan turut menerima tempias taufan tersebut.
