Otis seriously fucked up Acapulco. The news that a Cat 5 hurricane was going to land got out at 9:00 pm and landed a few hours later, people usually have days to prepare for such an event, this was unprecedented.
A lot of little towns and communities are uncommunicated, no one really knows the magnitude of the damages in those zones. Most of the news coverage has been made in the touristic and urbanized regions, which are also destroyed.
People from cities surrounding Acapulco (e.g. people from the capital CDMX) tried to gather resources, paramedics, medics, rescuers and volunteers for helping, but there are reports that the highway have been taken by armed people (the state of Guerrero in which Acapulco is located is a very conflictive place) who are stealing the supplies and assaulting the volunteers.
We still don't know how much time, resources and people it will take to get Acapulco to normality. More importantly for me, is it really worth it to rebuild? I mean... I saw earlier in the news that the asserted damages lie around 15 billion usd, is it really a good idea to spend this money rebulding something that could be wiped out again without warning? The situation is a total clusterfuck.
And it is not just Acapulco and surrounding zones which will be affected. Guerrero is a very seismic place. A lot of big earthquakes have had its epicenter in the area and due to this, the government has a lot of seismic monitors that send alerts to the capital to avoid another 1985-level catastrophe. Now I've been reading that some of these monitors got screwed, and although the people involved are trying to repair them and they still have most monitors working, a continuous deterioration of this kind of infrastructure is terrifying.
I link some videos so you can watch the level of destruction caused by Otis.
