Hi Tony,
When you consider that drag is also proportional to the cross-sectional
area of an object, it is an unnerving situation to be faced with.
The cars are designed to slip through the air, but as you highlight, houses
generally aren't.
At around 2pm Australian Eastern Summer Time, Patricia made
landfall in western Mexico, making it the strongest ever recorded in
the Americas.
It has apparently eased to category 4 and initial reports are that thankfully
there was no storm surge. However, flash flooding and landslides are predicted.
