[1/4] People leave with goods from a supermarket that had been broken into in the aftermath of Hurricane Otis, in the outskirts of Acapulco, Mexico, October 26, 2023.
Hurricane Otis last week hit Acapulco with winds of 165 miles per hour (266 km per hour), flooding the city, flipping roofs from homes and businesses, submerging vehicles, and severing communications as well as road and air connections.
Mexico has sent thousands of armed forces members to keep order and help distribute tons of food and supplies.
Acapulco residents are still searching for missing loved ones since the Category 5 hurricane hit with unexpected ferocity, far exceeding meteorologists' initial forecasts.
State power utility CFE said on Tuesday morning one in four users in Guerrero hit by Otis was still without power.
