Hurricane Patricia has officially landed.
The category 5 hurricane will bring massive flooding to the normally-dry Mexico and is said to be the biggest ever recorded – and it certainly looked that way when snapped from space.
The view from the ground is quite different but equally as formidable.
People have been uploading videos of the over 200mph winds ravaging the Mexican coast.
