Strongest ever hurricane Patricia hits Mexico

[Meatpie]

Some experts say no building can withstand winds of 155 mph (249 km/h) for more than a few seconds.

Patrica has winds gusts of over 400 km/h.

Does this mean no human can survive in direct path?

The rugged terrain quickly destroyed the storm as it moved inland.
