Video: Hurricane Patricia Wedges Huge Cargo Ship Between Rocks

Hurricane Patricia rocked the Western Hemisphere like no hurricane ever before.

It was powerful enough to move an enormous bulk carrier like a toy but remarkably failed to claim a single life.

One of the strongest ever hurricanes lashed western Mexico with rain and winds of up to 165 mph (266 km/h), causing chaos in coastal towns and resorts but less damage than feared.

Mowing down trees, flooding streets and battering buildings, Hurricane Patricia plowed into Mexico as a Category 5 storm before grinding inland, where it began to lose power in the mountains that rise up along the Pacific coast.

Around 15,000 tourists were hurriedly evacuated from the beach resort of Puerto Vallarta as people scrambled to get away from the advancing hurricane, whose massive swirl over Mexico could be seen clearly from space.
