It will remain closed until tests show the crab is safe for consumption. The state Department of Fish and Wildlife also closed the commercial rock crab fishery, which is normally open year-round. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Original Story:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials have closed recreational fishing for Dungeness and rock crab on the California coast north of Santa Barbara to the Oregon border, due to a large algae bloom that’s making the crab unsafe for consumption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bloom, created by an organism called \u003cem>Pseudo-nitzschia, \u003c/em>produces a neurotoxin that can build up in marine life. It causes vomiting, diarrhea, and cramping in humans and even death in severe cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials are expected to delay the opening of the commercial Dungeness crab season as well. It’s scheduled to open on November 15th. The recreational fishery will open as soon as test samples show the crab is safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how does this toxin get into marine animals and when might it clear out?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED News spoke with Clarissa Anderson, a research scientist at the Institute of Marine Sciences at UC Santa Cruz, to find out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Algae blooms off the Pacific coast aren’t new but why is this one so large and persistent?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This bloom has been unprecedented in its extent and its persistence. It started in May and continued on to September. And while we were expecting such a bloom in the spring and even into the summer as has happened in years past, we did not really expect to see this continue into September.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘The issue with the crabs is that toxin can persist in the sediments.’ \u003ccite>Clarissa Anderson, UC Santa Cruz\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The warm temperatures all along the North Pacific and off the West Coast are contributing to the persistence of this bloom and are allowing it to stay in the surface waters. We’re now starting to see that subside a little bit as we go into fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why are the waters so warm? Is it El Niño?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, it’s true that El Niño is on its way. But we’re not quite seeing the manifestations of El Niño in California just yet. For the last two years, we have seen these very high temperatures in the waters off the coast and we’re calling that the warm “blob.” And that has been interacting with the bloom and sort of creating an unprecedented situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How long might these levels of domoic acid last in the ocean?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We know from weekly sampling that domoic acid levels, at least in the surface waters, have been coming down for the last two months. And they’re pretty low now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue with the crabs is that toxin can persist in the sediments. And those crabs are feeding on all kinds of crustaceans and shrimp along the bottom. And so the crabs are bio-accumulating it in their flesh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So this toxin, while it might not be continuing to be produced by the algae, it certainly is in the sediments and could last there for quite some time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”0U6kFEVdBEJtwZ4hjwMIu1StxDI0HbXE”]\u003cstrong>Could storms or high winds clear out the algae bloom?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If we start to see some big storms from El Niño, we might start to see the water column turn over and some of these toxins flush away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as far as sediments go, it might be a little trickier. But I think that some storms would do a lot to clear this up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So once a crab has this level of domoic acid in its body, how long does it take for it to clear out of the crab so it’s safe to eat?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We don’t have great data on the clearance rate of domoic acid from crabs. We know that they will clear it out naturally via their kidneys and they will excrete it. But we don’t know just how long it will take if they continue to acquire it and feed an environment where there is a lot of domoic acid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the question is: are they going to continue to acquire it or will they be able to just excrete it over a number of days to weeks. And then we can move on and start harvesting them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And it’s not just crabs that are being affected by the neurotoxin, right? People should avoid eating fresh sardines and anchovies.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This toxin can work its way up the food web and we’ve seen unusual mortality events in California sea lions and also whales farther north in Alaska. Sea lions have been stranding within California as well as in Oregon and Washington throughout the summer and are continuing to strand.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It’s scheduled to open on November 15th. The recreational fishery will open as soon as test samples show the crab is safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how does this toxin get into marine animals and when might it clear out?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED News spoke with Clarissa Anderson, a research scientist at the Institute of Marine Sciences at UC Santa Cruz, to find out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Algae blooms off the Pacific coast aren’t new but why is this one so large and persistent?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This bloom has been unprecedented in its extent and its persistence. It started in May and continued on to September. And while we were expecting such a bloom in the spring and even into the summer as has happened in years past, we did not really expect to see this continue into September.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘The issue with the crabs is that toxin can persist in the sediments.’ \u003ccite>Clarissa Anderson, UC Santa Cruz\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The warm temperatures all along the North Pacific and off the West Coast are contributing to the persistence of this bloom and are allowing it to stay in the surface waters. We’re now starting to see that subside a little bit as we go into fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why are the waters so warm? Is it El Niño?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, it’s true that El Niño is on its way. But we’re not quite seeing the manifestations of El Niño in California just yet. For the last two years, we have seen these very high temperatures in the waters off the coast and we’re calling that the warm “blob.” And that has been interacting with the bloom and sort of creating an unprecedented situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How long might these levels of domoic acid last in the ocean?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We know from weekly sampling that domoic acid levels, at least in the surface waters, have been coming down for the last two months. And they’re pretty low now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue with the crabs is that toxin can persist in the sediments. And those crabs are feeding on all kinds of crustaceans and shrimp along the bottom. And so the crabs are bio-accumulating it in their flesh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So this toxin, while it might not be continuing to be produced by the algae, it certainly is in the sediments and could last there for quite some time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Could storms or high winds clear out the algae bloom?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If we start to see some big storms from El Niño, we might start to see the water column turn over and some of these toxins flush away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as far as sediments go, it might be a little trickier. But I think that some storms would do a lot to clear this up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So once a crab has this level of domoic acid in its body, how long does it take for it to clear out of the crab so it’s safe to eat?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We don’t have great data on the clearance rate of domoic acid from crabs. We know that they will clear it out naturally via their kidneys and they will excrete it. But we don’t know just how long it will take if they continue to acquire it and feed an environment where there is a lot of domoic acid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the question is: are they going to continue to acquire it or will they be able to just excrete it over a number of days to weeks. And then we can move on and start harvesting them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>And it’s not just crabs that are being affected by the neurotoxin, right? People should avoid eating fresh sardines and anchovies.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This toxin can work its way up the food web and we’ve seen unusual mortality events in California sea lions and also whales farther north in Alaska. Sea lions have been stranding within California as well as in Oregon and Washington throughout the summer and are continuing to strand.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Most of the structure to be removed is below the bay's surface, so there will be no spectacular collapse. No, there won't be a geyser shooting skyward either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you want to see it, stay home and watch it on the Internet,\" Maroney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The structure to be removed is Pier E3, the largest of the old span's foundations. The structure, near Yerba Buena Island, extends 50 feet from the water's surface to the bay floor and then for more than 200 feet into the bay mud below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The implosion is designed to destroy the pier above the bay floor as well as most of the structure embedded in the mud. Caltrans says it's worked with several outside agencies to make sure the implosion's impact on surrounding wildlife and infrastructure is limited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Engineers have devised a large platform of floating planks -- an attenuation mat -- to limit the spread of debris. An underwater bubble curtain will be in place, a measure designed to reduce the energy of the shock wave from the explosives detonated during the implosion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maroney said the blast itself has been designed to minimize its destructive effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By having just under 600 different charges -- not released all at once, set off microseconds apart -- you don’t have one big shock wave, you have many small shock waves,\" Maroney said. \"So the amplitude or the threat of that shock wave is much, much less.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The implosion is set to take place at the time of a slack tide, the point when a high tide has reached its maximum or a low tide its minimum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maroney said the most likely time for the operation is at the midday high tide on Saturday, Nov. 14 -- about 1 p.m. But it could take place at the morning low tide, about 6:45 a.m., or sometime the following day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said a major factor in determining the time is minimizing impacts on mammals such as seals, sea lions and porpoises, and monitors will be watching them closely to help pick the safest time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The implosion will have a brief impact on boaters, bicyclists and motorists on the Bay Bridge, and BART passengers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Highway Patrol will halt bridge traffic briefly at the time of the operation.

Most of the structure to be removed is below the bay's surface, so there will be no spectacular collapse. No, there won't be a geyser shooting skyward either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you want to see it, stay home and watch it on the Internet,\" Maroney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The structure to be removed is Pier E3, the largest of the old span's foundations. The structure, near Yerba Buena Island, extends 50 feet from the water's surface to the bay floor and then for more than 200 feet into the bay mud below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The implosion is designed to destroy the pier above the bay floor as well as most of the structure embedded in the mud. Caltrans says it's worked with several outside agencies to make sure the implosion's impact on surrounding wildlife and infrastructure is limited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Engineers have devised a large platform of floating planks -- an attenuation mat -- to limit the spread of debris. An underwater bubble curtain will be in place, a measure designed to reduce the energy of the shock wave from the explosives detonated during the implosion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maroney said the blast itself has been designed to minimize its destructive effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By having just under 600 different charges -- not released all at once, set off microseconds apart -- you don’t have one big shock wave, you have many small shock waves,\" Maroney said. \"So the amplitude or the threat of that shock wave is much, much less.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The implosion is set to take place at the time of a slack tide, the point when a high tide has reached its maximum or a low tide its minimum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maroney said the most likely time for the operation is at the midday high tide on Saturday, Nov. 14 -- about 1 p.m. But it could take place at the morning low tide, about 6:45 a.m., or sometime the following day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said a major factor in determining the time is minimizing impacts on mammals such as seals, sea lions and porpoises, and monitors will be watching them closely to help pick the safest time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The implosion will have a brief impact on boaters, bicyclists and motorists on the Bay Bridge, and BART passengers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Highway Patrol will halt bridge traffic briefly at the time of the operation. Westbound traffic will be held at the Bay Bridge metering lights; eastbound traffic will be halted at the western portal to the Yerba Buena tunnel. The bike path on the new eastern span will also be closed beginning at 6 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 13, until the implosion is over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART says it will hold trains outside the Transbay Tube, which will result in slight delays.

He used to grow them, but these days he’s solely a pumpkin broker. He buys and sells about 2 million pounds of pumpkins a year. Typically, he meets demands with gourds from California.

He says one farmer moved out of state, while others retired or just quit farming pumpkins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin says it’s the same in Los Angeles, where a lot of small urban farmers just can’t afford to pay the fines they would accrue using metered water. Some of these farmers, in the “agritainment” business, still operate festive patches with pony rides and caramel corn. But they truck in stemmed pumpkins, instead of offering you-pick varieties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve hauled a tremendous amount of pumpkins to Southern California this year because most of the pumpkin farmers down there have simply given up,” Martin says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10738731\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10738731 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/PumpkinTruck-800x503.jpg\" alt=\"Alan Changala's Pumpkin Patch and Ranch in Porterville had a bumper crop this year.

He used to grow them, but these days he’s solely a pumpkin broker. He buys and sells about 2 million pounds of pumpkins a year. Typically, he meets demands with gourds from California.

Some of these farmers, in the “agritainment” business, still operate festive patches with pony rides and caramel corn. But they truck in stemmed pumpkins, instead of offering you-pick varieties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve hauled a tremendous amount of pumpkins to Southern California this year because most of the pumpkin farmers down there have simply given up,” Martin says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10738731\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10738731 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/PumpkinTruck-800x503.jpg\" alt=\"Alan Changala's Pumpkin Patch and Ranch in Porterville had a bumper crop this year.

Russell says fear of the brave new world of robots is as old as the word itself. In fact, the word \"robot\" was coined in a \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.U.R.\">play \u003c/a>in which robots take over the world. From \"Frankenstein\" to \"The Terminator,\" that theme has run through the arts and popular culture ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Russell says for the most part, scientists didn’t take such concerns seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The normal response to those kinds of things is to say, 'Oh well, you know it’s a long way off in the future, so we don’t have to worry about this,' ” says Russell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But recently that attitude has changed. In the past few years, scientists have been more vocal about the dangers artificial intelligence could pose to humanity. Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking told the BBC that he thinks the “development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And earlier this year Hawking and hundreds of AI researchers signed an\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"http://futureoflife.org/AI/open_letter\"> open letter\u003c/a>, saying that if the industry doesn’t start building safeguards into artificial intelligence it could spell doom for humanity. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who also signed the letter, gave \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/how-elon-musks-10-million-donation-will-help-keep-us-safe-from-artificial-intelligence-2015-7\">$10 million\u003c/a> to the cause. He went so far as to say that artificial intelligence \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">could be\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> humanity’s biggest “\u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/oct/27/elon-musk-artificial-intelligence-ai-biggest-existential-threat\">existential threat\u003c/a>.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10734694\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking-800x579.jpg\" alt='Physicist Stephen Hawking has said the \"development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.\"' width=\"800\" height=\"579\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10734694\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking-800x579.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking-400x289.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking-1440x1042.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking-1180x854.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/10/Hawking-960x695.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Physicist Stephen Hawking has said the \"development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.\" \u003ccite>(Frederick M.

He says that, until now, the field of artificial intelligence has been singularly focused on giving robots the ability to make “high-quality” decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the moment, we don’t know how to give the robot what you might call human values\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">,” he says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Russell believes that as this problem becomes clearer, it’s only natural that people will start to focus their energy on solving it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he says, not to be flip, but nobody’s going to buy a robot that cooks a cat. So it’s just a matter of time before tech companies, universities and the government start pouring resources into programming robots with morals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In some sense [the robots'] only purpose in existing is to help us realize our values, and perhaps it'll make people better,\" says Russell.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Russell says fear of the brave new world of robots is as old as the word itself. In fact, the word \"robot\" was coined in a \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.U.R.\">play \u003c/a>in which robots take over the world. From \"Frankenstein\" to \"The Terminator,\" that theme has run through the arts and popular culture ever since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Russell says for the most part, scientists didn’t take such concerns seriously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The normal response to those kinds of things is to say, 'Oh well, you know it’s a long way off in the future, so we don’t have to worry about this,' ” says Russell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But recently that attitude has changed. In the past few years, scientists have been more vocal about the dangers artificial intelligence could pose to humanity. Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking told the BBC that he thinks the “development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And earlier this year Hawking and hundreds of AI researchers signed an\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"http://futureoflife.org/AI/open_letter\"> open letter\u003c/a>, saying that if the industry doesn’t start building safeguards into artificial intelligence it could spell doom for humanity. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who also signed the letter, gave \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/how-elon-musks-10-million-donation-will-help-keep-us-safe-from-artificial-intelligence-2015-7\">$10 million\u003c/a> to the cause.

He says that, until now, the field of artificial intelligence has been singularly focused on giving robots the ability to make “high-quality” decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At the moment, we don’t know how to give the robot what you might call human values\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">,” he says.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Russell believes that as this problem becomes clearer, it’s only natural that people will start to focus their energy on solving it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he says, not to be flip, but nobody’s going to buy a robot that cooks a cat. So it’s just a matter of time before tech companies, universities and the government start pouring resources into programming robots with morals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In some sense [the robots'] only purpose in existing is to help us realize our values, and perhaps it'll make people better,\" says Russell.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But that was before anyone from the government arrived in El Rebalse, a town surrounded by banana plantations that Associated Press journalists tried to reach on foot before hitching a ride on the army trucks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Banana trees as far as the eye could see were snapped in half, and large bunches of the fruit moldered in the intense sun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re going to lose a whole year,” Santana’s husband, Artemio Sanmeron Sanchez, said of the plantations where everyone in town made their living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then the couple slipped back into the water and waded off. Already they had slogged from the neighboring town, Cihuatlan, where they evacuated. They assumed their home of 15 years was destroyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the surrounding Cihuatlan Valley, less than 6 miles (10 kilometers) from the Pacific, between 1,800 and 2,000 people depend directly on agriculture for livelihoods, said Narciso de Jesus Ramirez Rubio, a banana grower and president of the municipal small landowners association. That’s not counting their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was annoyed that, in his mind, Pena Nieto had played down the damage. He said that only with government help could the owners of the mango and banana plantations hope to get their fields producing again in a year’s time. Work to build levees to contain the nearby Marabasco River began three years ago, but was not completed, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is total destruction,” Ramirez said, as he watched soldiers work to make a washed-out section of road passable. “Agriculture, along with tourism, is the principal source of employment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mexican navy put out a statement Sunday that it had 5,791 sailors and marines, 192 vehicles, seven aircraft, three vessels and eight mobile kitchens working to reach those affected by the mega-storm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patricia made landfall as a powerful Category 5 hurricane, having peaked at sea with winds up to 200 mph, and then came ashore Friday evening with winds of 165 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the wind and rain subsided, the river entered through a gap behind the banana plantation where Martha Gutierrez and her husband had lived and worked for nine years. It was 1:20 a.m. and the family scrambled to another house with a second story. They hadn’t evacuated before the storm because they wanted to care for their animals. In the end, five of their six pigs drowned, and their house was destroyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have nothing to eat,” Gutierrez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In El Rebalse, Rosalinda Hernandez Murga stirred a pot of rice soup over a wood fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her family and three others took shelter in a well-constructed, two-story house before Patricia struck. Its sloped driveway to an elevated parking area is now a landing area for boats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All 16 people staying there crowded into a room on the second floor when the storm hit. The fiercest winds lasted about two hours, but strong winds blew for five or six hours shaking the house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It felt like it was going to lift off,” Hernandez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around 1 a.m. the water began rising around them. By Sunday it had gone down somewhat, but was still about chest-high in the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Out on the road leading to El Rebalse, mud-caked and breathing hard, Carmela Jeronimo Avalos heaved a big garbage bag of clothing off her shoulder and onto the pavement. She had just slogged about a mile into the flood zone with relatives to salvage what they could.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the water subsiding to ankle-deep, they could haul out clothes, a small television and two electric fans. After catching her breath, Jeronimo turned around and began another trek to her ruined home to see what else could be saved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Previous version of this story, also from AP’s Christopher Sherman:\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nCHAMELA, Mexico — Only a day after menacing Mexico as one of history’s strongest storms, Hurricane Patricia left surprisingly little damage in its wake Saturday and quickly dissipated into an ordinary low-pressure system that posed little threat beyond heavy rain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hurricane’s most powerful punch hit a sparsely populated stretch of Mexico’s Pacific Coast before the system crashed into mountains that sapped its potentially catastrophic force. The popular beach city of Puerto Vallarta and the port of Manzanillo were spared the brunt of the violent weather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were no reports of deaths or injuries, said Roberto Lopez Lara, interior secretary for the state of Jalisco. It was a remarkable outcome, considering that Patricia had been a Category 5 hurricane with winds up to 200 mph before it came ashore with slightly less power in an area dotted with a few upscale hotels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hours later, as the storm spun inland, it collapsed into fast-moving bands of rain aimed at already sodden Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials were still trying to reach some of the hardest-hit areas that were blocked by downed trees, and residents of towns nearest the strike said they had endured a terrifying night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those were the longest five hours of my life,” said Sergio Reyna Ruiz, who took cover between the shaking concrete walls of a neighbor’s home when Patricia passed over the hamlet of La Fortuna, about 2 miles from the ocean. “Five hours riding the monster.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the storm hit, Reyna tried to secure the shingles of his roof with metal cables. But looking up from the inside Saturday, the ceiling was a patchwork of old tile and blue sky. He and family members next door tried to clean up, sawing through a downed tree and putting waterlogged mattresses and books into the sun to dry.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘Those were the longest five hours of my life. Five hours riding the monster.’\u003ccite>Sergio Reyna Ruiz\u003cbr>\nHurricane witness\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Still, all were thankful that everyone survived: “It’s something to tell the grandchildren,” Reyna said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Down the road in Chamela, people picked through boards, tree limbs and other refuse for anything salvageable. All 40 families that live there rode out the storm at a shelter in nearby San Mateo. When they returned, they found little that was recognizable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arturo Morfin Garcia wielded a machete trying to clear debris from around his home, which was reduced to a jumble of bricks and beams. The only part left standing was a concrete bathroom at one end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It wasn’t hard to leave. It was hard to come back and find this,” Morfin Garcia said. “So much work to build something. It makes me very sad, but what can we do with these natural phenomena?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Manzanillo, high winds and waves blew out windows and damaged some buildings. Trees and utility poles were toppled. An enraged sea battered the Hotel Barra de Navidad in a nearby town, scooping sand away from the foundations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the streets were full of downed trees, hotel watchman Domingo Hernandez said, calling Patricia the strongest storm he’s seen in a quarter-century living on the coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puerto Vallarta, home to some 200,000 people, including thousands of U.S. residents and visitors, was largely unscathed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People snapped selfies next to a sculpture overlooking the sea Saturday, and business owners swept sidewalks as they would on any morning. Puddles dotted the downtown district, but no more than a passing thunderstorm might leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patricia plunged ashore about 65 miles southeast of Vallarta, which was protected from much of the fury by mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were fortunate as to where it made landfall. It was not a densely populated area,” said Dennis Feltgen, a meteorologist and spokesman for the U.S. National Hurricane Center. “You and I would be having a very different conversation if this went over the top of Puerto Vallarta.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the lack of fatalities was probably the result of the storm’s narrow footprint. Category 5 winds extended 15 miles out on either side of the eye, and hurricane-force winds extended for 35 miles from the center of the storm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By midday, Patricia had dissipated and had maximum sustained winds of 30 mph, according to the hurricane center. Its remnants were expected to feed into existing rain hitting southern Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s an area of low pressure that’ll be forming along the Texas coast, and that will be about the time that moisture from Patricia will be arriving,” Feltgen said. The wet weather was forecast to spread from Texas to the central Gulf Coast by early next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday afternoon, the remains of Patricia were about 45 miles southwest of the Mexican city of Monterrey, and moving to the northeast at 22 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That such a monster storm could inflict so little harm seemed wondrous. Patricia formed suddenly Tuesday and quickly strengthened to a hurricane. Within 30 hours it had zoomed to a record-beating Category 5 storm, catching many off guard with its rapid growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By Friday it was the most powerful hurricane on record in the Western Hemisphere, with a central pressure of 880 millibars, according to the hurricane center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patricia’s power while still out at sea was comparable to that of Typhoon Haiyan, which left more than 7,300 dead or missing in the Philippines two years ago, according to the U.N.’s World Meteorological Organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurricane experts praised Mexico’s expertise at storm preparations and credited good fortune.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mountains in the area quickly weakened the storm, and the coastal landscape did not offer the right conditions for a storm surge that could have become a devastating wall of water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most affected part of the coast did not have a large area of shallow water “conducive for piling up a huge storm surge,” said Jeff Masters, director of meteorology at Weather Underground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The storm was also moving fast enough at landfall — about 20 mph (35 kph) — that its heavy rains “did not stay in place long enough to generate the kinds of devastating floods we’ve seen in the past from Mexican hurricanes,” Masters noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mexico’s transport secretary, Gerardo Ruiz Esparza, put it another way: “Nature was good to us.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Already they had slogged from the neighboring town, Cihuatlan, where they evacuated. They assumed their home of 15 years was destroyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the surrounding Cihuatlan Valley, less than 6 miles (10 kilometers) from the Pacific, between 1,800 and 2,000 people depend directly on agriculture for livelihoods, said Narciso de Jesus Ramirez Rubio, a banana grower and president of the municipal small landowners association. That’s not counting their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was annoyed that, in his mind, Pena Nieto had played down the damage. He said that only with government help could the owners of the mango and banana plantations hope to get their fields producing again in a year’s time. Work to build levees to contain the nearby Marabasco River began three years ago, but was not completed, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is total destruction,” Ramirez said, as he watched soldiers work to make a washed-out section of road passable. “Agriculture, along with tourism, is the principal source of employment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mexican navy put out a statement Sunday that it had 5,791 sailors and marines, 192 vehicles, seven aircraft, three vessels and eight mobile kitchens working to reach those affected by the mega-storm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patricia made landfall as a powerful Category 5 hurricane, having peaked at sea with winds up to 200 mph, and then came ashore Friday evening with winds of 165 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the wind and rain subsided, the river entered through a gap behind the banana plantation where Martha Gutierrez and her husband had lived and worked for nine years. It was 1:20 a.m. and the family scrambled to another house with a second story. They hadn’t evacuated before the storm because they wanted to care for their animals. In the end, five of their six pigs drowned, and their house was destroyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have nothing to eat,” Gutierrez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In El Rebalse, Rosalinda Hernandez Murga stirred a pot of rice soup over a wood fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her family and three others took shelter in a well-constructed, two-story house before Patricia struck. Its sloped driveway to an elevated parking area is now a landing area for boats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All 16 people staying there crowded into a room on the second floor when the storm hit. The fiercest winds lasted about two hours, but strong winds blew for five or six hours shaking the house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It felt like it was going to lift off,” Hernandez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around 1 a.m. the water began rising around them. By Sunday it had gone down somewhat, but was still about chest-high in the street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Out on the road leading to El Rebalse, mud-caked and breathing hard, Carmela Jeronimo Avalos heaved a big garbage bag of clothing off her shoulder and onto the pavement. She had just slogged about a mile into the flood zone with relatives to salvage what they could.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the water subsiding to ankle-deep, they could haul out clothes, a small television and two electric fans. After catching her breath, Jeronimo turned around and began another trek to her ruined home to see what else could be saved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Previous version of this story, also from AP’s Christopher Sherman:\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nCHAMELA, Mexico — Only a day after menacing Mexico as one of history’s strongest storms, Hurricane Patricia left surprisingly little damage in its wake Saturday and quickly dissipated into an ordinary low-pressure system that posed little threat beyond heavy rain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hurricane’s most powerful punch hit a sparsely populated stretch of Mexico’s Pacific Coast before the system crashed into mountains that sapped its potentially catastrophic force. The popular beach city of Puerto Vallarta and the port of Manzanillo were spared the brunt of the violent weather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were no reports of deaths or injuries, said Roberto Lopez Lara, interior secretary for the state of Jalisco. It was a remarkable outcome, considering that Patricia had been a Category 5 hurricane with winds up to 200 mph before it came ashore with slightly less power in an area dotted with a few upscale hotels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hours later, as the storm spun inland, it collapsed into fast-moving bands of rain aimed at already sodden Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials were still trying to reach some of the hardest-hit areas that were blocked by downed trees, and residents of towns nearest the strike said they had endured a terrifying night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those were the longest five hours of my life,” said Sergio Reyna Ruiz, who took cover between the shaking concrete walls of a neighbor’s home when Patricia passed over the hamlet of La Fortuna, about 2 miles from the ocean. “Five hours riding the monster.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the storm hit, Reyna tried to secure the shingles of his roof with metal cables. But looking up from the inside Saturday, the ceiling was a patchwork of old tile and blue sky. He and family members next door tried to clean up, sawing through a downed tree and putting waterlogged mattresses and books into the sun to dry.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘Those were the longest five hours of my life. Five hours riding the monster.’\u003ccite>Sergio Reyna Ruiz\u003cbr>\nHurricane witness\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Still, all were thankful that everyone survived: “It’s something to tell the grandchildren,” Reyna said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Down the road in Chamela, people picked through boards, tree limbs and other refuse for anything salvageable. All 40 families that live there rode out the storm at a shelter in nearby San Mateo. When they returned, they found little that was recognizable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arturo Morfin Garcia wielded a machete trying to clear debris from around his home, which was reduced to a jumble of bricks and beams. The only part left standing was a concrete bathroom at one end.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It wasn’t hard to leave. It was hard to come back and find this,” Morfin Garcia said. “So much work to build something. It makes me very sad, but what can we do with these natural phenomena?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Manzanillo, high winds and waves blew out windows and damaged some buildings. Trees and utility poles were toppled. An enraged sea battered the Hotel Barra de Navidad in a nearby town, scooping sand away from the foundations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the streets were full of downed trees, hotel watchman Domingo Hernandez said, calling Patricia the strongest storm he’s seen in a quarter-century living on the coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Puerto Vallarta, home to some 200,000 people, including thousands of U.S. residents and visitors, was largely unscathed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People snapped selfies next to a sculpture overlooking the sea Saturday, and business owners swept sidewalks as they would on any morning. Puddles dotted the downtown district, but no more than a passing thunderstorm might leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patricia plunged ashore about 65 miles southeast of Vallarta, which was protected from much of the fury by mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were fortunate as to where it made landfall. It was not a densely populated area,” said Dennis Feltgen, a meteorologist and spokesman for the U.S. National Hurricane Center. “You and I would be having a very different conversation if this went over the top of Puerto Vallarta.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the lack of fatalities was probably the result of the storm’s narrow footprint. Category 5 winds extended 15 miles out on either side of the eye, and hurricane-force winds extended for 35 miles from the center of the storm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By midday, Patricia had dissipated and had maximum sustained winds of 30 mph, according to the hurricane center. Its remnants were expected to feed into existing rain hitting southern Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s an area of low pressure that’ll be forming along the Texas coast, and that will be about the time that moisture from Patricia will be arriving,” Feltgen said. The wet weather was forecast to spread from Texas to the central Gulf Coast by early next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday afternoon, the remains of Patricia were about 45 miles southwest of the Mexican city of Monterrey, and moving to the northeast at 22 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That such a monster storm could inflict so little harm seemed wondrous. Patricia formed suddenly Tuesday and quickly strengthened to a hurricane. Within 30 hours it had zoomed to a record-beating Category 5 storm, catching many off guard with its rapid growth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By Friday it was the most powerful hurricane on record in the Western Hemisphere, with a central pressure of 880 millibars, according to the hurricane center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patricia’s power while still out at sea was comparable to that of Typhoon Haiyan, which left more than 7,300 dead or missing in the Philippines two years ago, according to the U.N.’s World Meteorological Organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurricane experts praised Mexico’s expertise at storm preparations and credited good fortune.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mountains in the area quickly weakened the storm, and the coastal landscape did not offer the right conditions for a storm surge that could have become a devastating wall of water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most affected part of the coast did not have a large area of shallow water “conducive for piling up a huge storm surge,” said Jeff Masters, director of meteorology at Weather Underground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The storm was also moving fast enough at landfall — about 20 mph (35 kph) — that its heavy rains “did not stay in place long enough to generate the kinds of devastating floods we’ve seen in the past from Mexican hurricanes,” Masters noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
