Hurricane Patricia -- one of the strongest storms ever recorded -- was downgraded to a tropical depression Saturday morning, less than 24 hours after it hit the Pacific coast of Mexico

The eye of Patricia brought lots of rain and 165 mph winds when it made landfall in Mexico near Cuixmala in Jalisco state about 55 miles west-northwest of Manzanillo at 6:15 p.m. CT Friday, reports The Weather Channel. However, the storm caused less damage than anticipated as it moved inland, plus no deaths have been reported. Meanwhile, Jalisco only had some storm debris Saturday morning since it was mostly unscathed from the storm's intensity.

Although Patricia became the most powerful tropical cyclone ever measured in the Western Hemisphere with its unprecedented 200 mph maximum sustained winds, the storm could not maintain its strength. By 11 a.m. ET Saturday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center downgraded Patricia after the Category 5 hurricane transformed into a tropical depression, reports USA Today.

On Friday, residents in Tlaquepaque, a suburb of Guadalajara, described the storm's heavy rain and strong winds Friday night as nothing out of the ordinary during the rainy season. Sofia Quintero, a 23-year-old shop owner in the popular tourist area, said Friday's night winds were strong, but overall the storm was not nearly as bad as predicted. She added that her power and Internet never went out.

"Strong winds and a lot of water," Quintero said. "But like they said it would be? No."

Still, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto released a televised statement on Saturday, urging Mexicans to stay vigilant.

"The first reports say the damage has been minor compared to a hurricane of this magnitude," he said. "But we can't let our guard down now."

Patricia is now expected to dissipate over Mexico's high mountain terrain on Saturday and bring more moisture to Texas.
