Hurricane Otis, a Category 4 storm, hit the city of Acapulco, Mexico, causing widespread devastation. The hurricane, which made landfall on October 26, 2023, resulted in significant damage to infrastructure, including the city's airport, which was temporarily closed. The airport has since reopened, facilitating the arrival of aid and allowing residents to escape the city.

The hurricane's impact has left many residents searching for missing loved ones amidst the devastation. The exact number of casualties is yet to be confirmed, but the situation is dire. The city's infrastructure has been severely affected, with many buildings and homes destroyed. The hurricane has also disrupted the city's power supply, leaving many residents without electricity.

The Mexican government has declared a state of emergency in Acapulco and is working with international aid organizations to provide relief to the affected residents. The government is also coordinating efforts to restore power and other essential services in the city.

The hurricane's impact on Acapulco is being viewed in the context of climate change, with experts suggesting that such extreme weather events are likely to become more frequent and severe due to global warming.
