Hurricane Patricia lasted from October 20 until October 24, 2015.
Yes, Hurricane Patricia was a powerful hurricane that formed in the eastern Pacific in October 2015. It became the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the western hemisphere, with maximum sustained winds reaching 215 mph (345 km/h) before making landfall in Mexico.
the wind speed was very fast to fast for scientists
A number of Hurricanes can lay claim to that title. Typhoon Tip, Hurricane Camille and a few others both had winds in the rage of 190 mph. The most intense HUrricane in terms of low pressure was Hurricane Wilma.
Oh honey, Patricia takes the cake on this one. She came in like a wrecking ball in 2015 as the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Western Hemisphere. Katrina and Sandy were no joke, but Patricia showed them who's boss in terms of wind speed and intensity.
Hurricane Patricia formed in October 2015 over the Eastern Pacific Ocean as a result of a combination of warm sea surface temperatures, favorable atmospheric conditions, and a conducive environment for tropical cyclone development. A cluster of thunderstorms organized and intensified, leading to the formation of a tropical depression, which rapidly strengthened into a tropical storm and then a hurricane. The storm reached peak intensity as a Category 5 hurricane, fueled by the warm waters and low vertical wind shear in the region.

Yes. The names of individual hurricanes are proper nouns.

No. While Hurricane Patricia was stronger than Katrina, the effects were not as bad. Here are the stats for each. Patricia: Peak winds: 200 mph Winds at landfall: 165 mph Total deaths: 13 Damage ~$190 million Katrina: Peak winds: 175 mph Winds at landfall: 125 mph Total deaths: 1,833 Damage: ~$120 billion (inflation adjusted) Katrina was deadlier and more destructive because it made landfall in a densely populated area while Patricia hit a mostly rural part of Mexico. Most of the deaths from Hurricane Katrina were in Near Orleans, which flooded when a number of levees around the low-lying city failed. No area impacted by Hurricane Patricia had this vulnerability.

The fastest winds on earth occur in tornadoes. In extreme cases they can exceed 300 mph.
The deadliest storm ever recorded is the Great Galveston Hurricane in 1900, which killed an estimated 8,000-12,000 people. In terms of intensity, Hurricane Patricia in 2015 holds the record for the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Western Hemisphere, with maximum sustained winds of 215 mph.
Katrina was not the strongest hurricane ever recorded, but it was one of the most destructive. Hurricane Patricia, which hit Mexico in 2015, holds the record for the strongest hurricane by wind speed, with maximum sustained winds reaching 215 mph.
Hurricane Patricia in 2015 is considered the strongest hurricane to hit the western hemisphere in the 20th century. It reached maximum sustained winds of 215 mph (345 km/h) before making landfall in Mexico.
No. Not even close. There are two main measures of hurricane intensity: wind speed and barometric pressure. Hurricane Irene is already past its peak of 120 mph winds and a pressure of 942 millibars (the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm). The strongest Hurricane on record in terms of wind speed was Hurricane Camille at 190 mph. The most intense tropical cyclone (generic term for hurricane, typhoon etc.) on recordwas Typhoon Tip with a pressure of 870 millibars.
