Rick was the second-strongest hurricane in the eastern North Pacific since 1966, when experts began keeping reliable records, Hurricane Center meteorologist Hugh Cobb said.
The strongest was Hurricane Linda, which generated maximum winds of 185 mph (296 kph) in September 1997.
"Rick is probably going to go into the record books as one of the most rapidly intensifying hurricanes," Cobb said.
