Mexican officials are working to determine the true extent of devastation left in Hurricane Otis’ wake after the powerful storm slammed into the coast near Acapulco on Wednesday as a Category 5 storm, causing severe damage and widespread communications outages for residents and emergency crews. The outages have significantly limited authorities’ ability to survey or share the magnitude of Otis’ impact.
The storm’s heavy rains are forecast to continue impacting the region through Thursday, possibly triggering flash flooding and mudslides, the National Hurricane Center said. Though the immediate threat has subsided, the region is just beginning the path to recovery. Images from the impacted area show structures torn apart and piled with uprooted trees and foliage, while several high-rise buildings have had their windows blown out.
