GUADALAJARA, Mexico — Hurricane Patricia left behind flooded homes, raging rivers and downed trees as it degenerated and moved north into Texas, leaving behind far less damage than initially feared.
The Mexican government on Saturday afternoon lifted its emergency alert after Patricia, one of the strongest storms ever to make landfall, weakened rapidly. No deaths were initially reported as emergency crews made their way into the hardest-hit areas. This capital of the state of Jalisco — ground zero for the storm's arrival on shore late Friday — was wet with some storm debris Saturday morning but mostly unscathed from the system's wrath. Some homes in the area where the storm came ashore were flooded but authorities said the damage appeared to be far less than anticipated given the storm's power.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said late Saturday afternoon that Patricia had degenerated into a low pressure system, a stunning transformation from the Category 5 hurricane that roared toward Mexico's Pacific coast packing sustained winds of 200 mph for much of Friday.
"So far, there are no reports of major damage from Patricia," Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto said on Twitter Saturday afternoon. "Our gratitude to all for your thoughts, prayers and actions. #PrayForMexico."

this to me was a miracle. I am agnostic I believe in god can make a divine intervention but seldom can I attest to the reality it was made .
this was a super storm its landfall and path unreal. to say all affected areas and no one dead miraculous . I personal understand hurricane sandy , Irene and katrina. this storm was twice the strength with buildings at best in most areas tar paper stucco shacks. yet no fatalities....
thank anyone who prayed from the astronauts at the space station to the poor who lived through it.
and thank god what ever his name you pray to that these civilians were spared.
