3. Hurricane Patricia

The most intense tropical cyclone that was ever recorded in the Western Hemisphere hit the Earth in October. It all started out slowly, unassumingly, before the winds intensified to some of the highest speeds ever recorded. Within 24 hours, Patricia went from a regular tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane, with maximum speeds of 200 miles per hour. Thankfully, by the time it reached land it had slowed down considerably and it blew out quickly, dissipating a day later, on October 24.
