Mexico President Andrés Manuel López Obrador says Hurricane Otis was responsible for at least 27 deaths and four people remained missing.
Cars cross a flood-damaged avenue after Hurricane Otis ripped through Acapulco, Mexico, Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2023. Hurricane Otis ripped through Mexico's southern Pacific coast as a powerful Category 5 storm, unleashing massive flooding, ravaging roads and leaving large swaths of the southwestern state of Guerrero without power or cellphone service.
“We regret the 27 dead,” López Obrador said. The president said Wednesday night that he had been told that the toll was 18, but it rose early Thursday. Many of the once sleek beachfront hotels in Acapulco looked like toothless, shattered hulks after the Category 5 storm blew out hundreds — and possibly thousands — of windows.
Pablo Navarro, an auto parts worker who was lodged in temporary accommodations at a beachfront hotel, thought he might die in his 13th-story hotel room.
