"Hurricane Otis: Unprecedented Power Surge Amplifies Climate Change Concerns"

Hurricane Otis, one of the strongest storms to hit Mexico, made landfall in Acapulco as a Category 5 hurricane with 165 mph winds, causing widespread devastation. The storm knocked over trees, flooded streets, triggered landslides, and left many areas without power or cellphone service. The full extent of damages and potential injuries and deaths is unclear due to communication disruptions. Videos and photos showed hotels, restaurants, and bridges underwater, with buildings and structures damaged. The storm has since dissipated, but residual rain may lead to more flooding and mudslides.
