Hurricane flattens Mexico homes, but major disaster averted
Patricia flattened dozens of homes on Mexico's Pacific coast, but authorities said on Saturday that the record-breaking hurricane largely spared the country as it weakened to a tropical depression.
Dozens of modest homes in the village of Chemula were blown away by Patricia's powerful winds after it made landfall in Jalisco state late Friday.
The villagers survived the hurricane because they evacuated before landfall, which occurred just 20km to the south.

Football: Mourinho off as Chelsea lose to West Ham, Villa slump goes on
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was sent to the stands as the Premier League champions' crisis deepened with a stormy 2-1 defeat at West Ham United on Saturday.
He was banished from the touchline by referee Jon Moss at half-time at Upton Park after seeing Mauro Zarate put West Ham ahead before Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic was sent off for two bookable offences.
Mourinho's assistant Silvino Louro was also sent off for protesting against Matic's dismissal and although Gary Cahill equalised early in the second half, West Ham substitute Andy Carroll headed in a 79th-minute winner.
