quiet stretch of coastline between the towns of Puerto Vallarta and Manzanillo,
rather than directly—and more dangerously—over either of them. It then moved
quickly enough that its rainfall was not concentrated in any one place, thus
reducing the chances of flooding. Its really strong winds were to be found
within 50km of its “eye”, making it a comparatively tight storm. And those same
winds were rapidly weakened when they passed over the Sierra Madre Occidental,
mountains near Mexico’s western coast. Topping this all off, the accompanying
storm surge, which was responsible for most of Typhoon Haiyan’s fatalities,
caused no problems. It seems the shape of the local seabed prevented the
build-up of shallow water necessary for a large surge.
