Mexico's president pledged to help areas affected by Hurricane Patricia, but said he was grateful the damage was not as bad as feared when the monster storm approached land.
Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto toured the damage in Armería, south of Manzanillo, Saturday.
Residents described terrifying winds that toppled homes and ripped down trees as the hurricane roared ashore Friday as a category 5 storm packing 165 mph winds.
There were no deaths reported. Hurricane Patricia quickly grew in intensity Thursday and by Friday had 200 mph winds and was being called the most powerful storm ever . . .
