Mexico October 2015!? Looking back at the time a rainforest turns lifeless overnight

That's right. Trees have lost all of their leaves where?! First of all, leaves aren't supposed to all fall During late October. Even in the northern areas of North America the trees don't turn "lifeless" until like November. Yet this is exactly what happened in Mexico during autumn. In fact, the leaves in Mexico didn't even start to change colors before they suddenly all disappeared overnight. Don't think this is possible? Well this happened after Hurricane Patricia, which was one incredibly rapid storm. Just watch this gif that goes to show something going from that of a rainforest, to that of a wasteland: https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/hurricane-patricia-mexico-coast
