POWERFUL HURRICANE. People rest at the beach after Hurricane Otis’ arrival alert in Acapulco, Guerrero state, Mexico on Wednesday. A new Category 3 hurricane, driven by winds exceeding 200 km/h, threatens Acapulco, the tourist capital of the Pacific on the west coast of Mexico, the American National Hurricane Center said.
President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador made an appeal on social media for people to move to emergency shelters and away from rivers, streams and ravines. “This rainfall will produce flash and urban flooding, along with mudslides in areas of higher terrain,” it warned. Earlier this week, Tropical Storm Norma left three people dead, including a child, after making landfall for a second time in the northwestern state of Sinaloa.
