That one is from August 2014.

Let's hope that this new one isn't so bad as feared.

22 minutes ago:

Hurricane Patricia is a very rare category five hurricane, by definition the strongest, with winds of 200mph (325km/h).
"This is really, really, really strong," said the World Meteorological Organization, while the US National Hurricane Center warned it could be like a "nuclear detonation".
