Hurricane Otis quickly rose to a Category five storm early Wednesday morning as it rampaged through Mexico’s southern Pacific coast, prompting alerts for Acapulco locals and tourists in the region to take cover.
Otis reached maximum sustained winds of 230 kilometres per hour on Tuesday evening, but by mid-morning Wednesday it weakened to a Category 2 storm with winds decreasing from 130 km/h to 17 km/h.
Despite the storm weakening, significant property damage was left behind as walls were ripped off of buildings, hotel rooms were flooded and downed trees blocked roads in the city. Heavy rainfall is expected to continue as the storm moves inland and local officials are warning people to stay home as Acapulco’s mayor says the city is under “maximum alert.”
Acapulco’s population of nearly one million people includes several neighbourhoods planted on the hillsides featuring luxury homes and hotels alike. As the storm’s destruction continues to impact people in the area, CTVNews.ca wants to hear from Canadians in the region.
Are you currently visiting Acapulco? Are you trapped in your hotel room amid the storm? Have local authorities and hotel staff provided updates on when it’ll be safe to go outside? What are the storm conditions right now and how have they impacted you?
