Patricia is estimated to have intensified 85 kt in the past 24 hours, from a tropical storm to a category 5 hurricane during that time. This is a remarkable feat, with only Linda of 1997 intensifying at this rate in the satellite era.

What is absolutely stunning and catastrophic is NO weakening prior to landfall. Patricia may maintain 160-knot (185-mph) winds into Mexico.
This is quite incredible for them to reach a storm at its peak
