The storm intensified with unexpected speed just prior to making landfall on Wednesday, becoming the most powerful storm to ever strike Mexico's Pacific coast. In Acapulco, Otis claimed at least 27 lives according to the local governor's tally issued on Thursday, which has not been updated. The investment manager calculated "a high probability" Mexico will get half of the bond's $125-million payment earmarked towards Pacific hurricanes.

MEXICO CITY—Hurricane Otis, the most powerful hurricane to hit Mexico’s Pacific coast, left at least 27 people dead and four missing in the popular beach resort of Acapulco amid widespread flooding and devastation, officials said Thursday. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said his government deployed hundreds of soldiers, medical teams and rescue teams as authorities began to assess the extensive damage inflicted by Otis in the Pacific port. Three of those missing are navy members, he said.

Mexican officials have been working since Wednesday to restore communication and power to the states of Guerrero and Oaxaca after Otis, which made landfall as a Category 5 hurricane, cut off power for more than half a million residents, battered hotels and ripped the roofs from buildings. Authorities were particularly concerned about Acapulco, a Pacific Coast port city of more than 852,000 people that was in the direct path of Otis. The city, in Guerrero State, was hosting an international mining industry convention when the storm hit; additionally, many hotels were packed with tourists. People stuck there posted videos on social media showing ravaged hotel rooms, doors ripped from hinges and collapsed ceilings. With the region effectively cut off from the outside world, the extent of possible injuries and deaths was still unclear.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said at his morning news briefing that the deaths occurred around Acapulco, but provided few details. "We regret the 27 dead," López Obrador said. "The people sheltered, protected themselves and that's why fortunately there weren't more tragedies, loss of human life," López Obrador said. López Obrador shared details of only one death: He said one soldier was among the dead after a wall of his home collapsed on him.

The outages have significantly limited authorities’ ability to survey or share the magnitude of Otis’ impact. Otis rapidly intensified from a tropical storm to an extremely dangerous Category 5 hurricane – the area’s strongest storm on record – in just 12 hours. Residents survey damage in the aftermath of Hurricane Otis in Xaltianguis, Guerrero state, Mexico. The storm’s heavy rains are forecast to continue impacting the region through Thursday, possibly triggering flash flooding and mudslides, the National Hurricane Center said.

☆ Otis Makes Landfall Near Acapulco as ‘Catastrophic’ Category 5 Hurricane

Otis made landfall near the resort city of Acapulco on the southern Pacific Coast of Mexico as a Category 5 hurricane, bringing record winds and rainfall that could create a “nightmare scenario” of flooding and mudslides, forecasters said early Wednesday. Hurricane Otis’s maximum sustained winds had grown to 165 miles per hour with stronger gusts at about 12:25 a.m. local time, when it made landfall, the National Hurricane Center said. The storm formed in the Pacific Ocean on Sunday, became a Category 1 hurricane midday Tuesday and “explosively intensified” in a matter of hours, becoming the strongest storm ever to hit this part of Mexico, forecasters said. Otis threatens a coast dotted with fishing villages and beach resorts as they gear up for their peak winter season. Along its path lies Acapulco, a large port city and a popular tourist destination home to more than 852,000 people, according to the Mexican government.

Before the storm made landfall, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador of Mexico had urged residents in Guerrero to brace for the storm. “Agree to move to shelters, stay in safe places: away from rivers, streams, ravines, and be alert,” he said on Tuesday. It also recommended that Acapulco residents take shelter, avoid crossing streams and flooded streets, and stay away from areas prone to landslides. The rainfall could cause flash and urban flooding, as well as mudslides in the mountainous areas, forecasters said. “There are no hurricanes on record even close to this intensity for this part of Mexico,” the hurricane center added.

On Tuesday morning, few meteorologists were talking about Tropical Storm Otis. At that time, forecast computer models didn’t show much to be concerned about. By Sunday evening, the computer forecast models were still not showing much. This is why meteorologists often preach that a computer model isn’t a forecast — forecasters create forecasts, they like to say. On Monday evening, with Otis still a tropical storm, satellite images revealed a little feature that could mean that the storm was about to intensify very quickly.

The hurricane was expected to weaken quickly in Guerrero state’s steep mountains. Otis had strengthened rapidly, going from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane in 12 hours Tuesday. Otis’ arrival came just days after Hurricane Norma struck the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula to the north. Acapulco is a city of more than 1 million people at the foot of steep mountains. The storm was expected to become a powerful extratropical cyclone by Thursday, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center.

Hurricane Otis slammed into Mexico's southern Pacific coast as a catastrophic Category 5 hurricane early Wednesday, bringing dangerous winds and heavy rain to Acapulco and surrounding towns, stirring memories of a 1997 storm that killed dozens of people.

Hurricane Otis interrupted tropical vacations for some visitors and put a stop to a mining convention in Acapulco, Mexico, as the storm bore down on the city early Wednesday. Among the travelers affected was David Hall, 34, who had arrived on Tuesday from Colima, a city about 300 miles northwest of Acapulco. Mr. Hall works in sales and was in Acapulco for the mining convention. “The wind was so strong, it was so much noise,” Mr. Hall said in an interview. The wind was really, really fast.”He compared the swaying of the hotel where he was staying, the Princess Mundo Imperial, to a “small earthquake,” adding, “It’s a very apocalyptic picture here.”

CNN —Hurricane Otis is expected to make landfall Wednesday morning as a Category 5 storm near Acapulco in Mexico, threatening to lash the coastal region with destructive winds, heavy rainfall and potentially “catastrophic storm surge,” forecasters say. Landfall is expected by early Wednesday near or just west of the city, a beach resort town on Mexico’s Pacific coast, the hurricane center said. The heavy rainfall could lead to flash and urban flooding as well as mudslides in higher terrain areas, the hurricane center warned. If Otis makes landfall as a Category 5 hurricane, it would be the first Category 5 landfall for the East Pacific, according to the NOAA Hurricane Database. The previous strongest landfall was Hurricane Patricia in 2015, which made landfall as a Category 4 Hurricane with winds of 150 mph.
