“A nightmare scenario is unfolding for southern Mexico,' a National Hurricane Center forecaster said.
ACAPULCO, Mexico — Residents of Mexico’s once glamorous port of Acapulco and surrounding coastal towns braced for the arrival of the “potentially catastrophic” Hurricane Otis, a rapidly intensifying Category 5 hurricane that stirred memories of a 1997 storm that killed dozens of people.
Acapulco is a city of more than 1 million people at the foot of steep mountains. Luxury homes and slums alike cover the city’s hillsides with views of the glistening Pacific. “This is an extremely serious situation for the Acapulco metropolitan area with the core of the destructive hurricane likely to come near or over that large city early on Wednesday, “ the weather service said. ”There are no hurricanes on record even close to this intensity for this part of Mexico.”
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador told people via the platform X, formally known as Twitter, “to go to shelters, stay in safe places away from rivers, streams, ravines and be alert, without being overconfident.”De acuerdo con la información disponible se pronostica que el huracán Otis entrará al territorio con categoría 5 entre Acapulco y Tecpan de Galeana de las 4 a las 6 de la mañana.
