The city is on the verge of extinction, but this is not Gaza! Hurricane Otis in Acapulco, Mexico
The city is on the verge of extinction, but this is not Gaza! Hurricane Otis in Acapulco, Mexico
Natural disaster 27 October 2023.
A hurricane of record intensity smashed into the Mexican coast near the resort of Acapulco in the early hours of Wednesday, catching authorities unprepared and leading to warnings about flash floods and landslides.
There are no hurricanes on record even close to this intensity for this part of Mexico,” said the centre’s senior hurricane specialist.
Within 24 hours, Otis became a Category 5 hurricane, the highest on the Saffir-Simpson scale, with winds of 270 km per hour.
Waves of more than 10m in height were cited by Mexican authorities
the full extent of the damage was still unclear, even to government leaders and authorities.
Acapulco, a city of around 800,000 people on Mexico’s south Pacific Coast, is in Guerrero, one of the country’s poorest states.
Local authorities have set up temporary shelters for residents and urged them not to leave their homes if they remained safe there.
Scientists have warned that climate change intensifies weather patterns, leading to more extreme heatwaves, droughts and storms. During hurricanes, the warmer temperatures mean more moisture is held in the air and then released as rainfall.
The past four months have already proved to be the hottest on record globally, with sea surface average temperatures also at their peak.
It was difficult to know immediately what drove the hurricane to increase in intensity so quickly despite the weather models not forecasting it.
Otis follows just weeks after hurricane Lidia hit near the beach resort of Puerto Vallarta.
