Along the west coast of Mexico are two of its states, Jalisco and Colima, both who have experienced historical natural disasters in the past.
The 1932 earthquake measured 8.1 and generated a tsunami along with an aftershock that produced an even more damaging tsunami several days later. Hundreds of deaths were attributed to the month long series of devastating tremors.
The 1959 hurricane packed winds of 160 mph as it slammed ashore, yes, a Category 5 hurricane, closing in on the same general areas that Patricia will be impacting. Over 1,800 deaths made this event the deadliest eastern Pacific tropical cyclone on record. Ironically, landfall occurred in late October, eerily similar to Patricia's eventual predicted landfall.
