Some 43 people are dead after the Category 5 Hurricane Otis rapidly intensified and made landfall on Mexico’s southern Pacific coast earlier this week, the state’s governor announced, after the area faced a complete blackout and the death toll remained unknown for a number of days.
Otis made landfall near the Pacific City of Acapulco Wednesday as a Category 5 hurricane with winds reaching 165 mph. Because the storm rapidly intensified, most people were cut off guard by its strength. In the hours after the storm made landfall, residents faced severe flood and landslides. Acapulco’s nearly one million residents were cut off and unable to communicate with the outside world, leaving the extend of the storm’s damage, including the number of those dead or missing, unknown.
The lack of communication and severe damage led López Obrador to deploy the Mexican army and navy to assist Acapulco with the recovery. The military presence in Acapulco is up to 15,000, the Associated Press reported Sunday.
