Mexican officials say they are moving supplies into Acapulco and getting people out of the devastated city three days after Hurricane Otis pummeled Mexico’s Pacific coast.
Many Acapulco residents were taking basic items from stores to survive, while others left with pricier goods in widespread rampages through the area's stores.
Desperate families are making missing posters and joining online groups to find loved ones out of touch since Hurricane Otis devastated the Mexican Pacific coast city of Acapulco. Officials say they are moving in supplies and getting people out of the devastated city of 1 million. Cell phone signals are returning to some parts of the city. Many residents are looking for relatives with the help of friends and relatives living in other parts of Mexico and the United States. They are sharing information and searching for the missing.
Dozens of desperate tourists, tired of waiting for buses out of the city, walked along the narrow sidewalks through the long car tunnel under the mountain dividing the port from the rest of the city Thursday. They pulled suitcases and some carried children.
