According to the search results, Acapulco, Mexico was hit by Hurricane Otis, a Category 5 hurricane that slammed Mexico on Wednesday, October 25, 2023, bringing winds that peaked at 260 km/h and gusts that reached up to 315 km/h. The hurricane caused widespread devastation across Acapulco, flooding thoroughfares, tearing roofs from residences and hotels, submerging vehicles, and severing communication, road, and air connections. The hurricane claimed at least 27 lives and left in its wake damage amounting to billions of dollars. The aid was slow to arrive, and residents were left without electricity or internet service as the toll remained uncertain. The residents were fending for themselves in the absence of aid, and some resorted to looting. The government workers and volunteers cleared streets, and gas station lines wrapped around the block for what gas was to be had, and some lucky families found food essentials as a more organized relief operation took shape. Military planes carrying food and water began to arrive in Acapulco, but residents said the aid was not enough.
