At least 27 people died due to Hurricane Otis, Mexico’s government said on Thursday after one of the most powerful storms to hit the country unleashed devastation in the Pacific beach resort of Acapulco early the day before.
Otis flooded streets, ripped roofs off homes and hotels and severed communications, road and air access, leaving a trail of devastation across Acapulco, a city of nearly 900,000.
The government said four more people are still missing.
President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said those missing are believed to be members of the navy.
