The Unleashed Fury of Hurricane Otis
Born from an atmospheric disturbance south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec, Hurricane Otis defied initial projections. What was anticipated as a milder tropical storm rapidly transformed into a force of extraordinary power, eclipsing even the notorious Hurricane Patricia in intensity. On October 24, 2023, Acapulco witnessed the arrival of Otis, its Category 5 ferocity making history as the strongest tropical cyclone to make landfall in Guerrero.
The aftermath of Otis was staggering: total estimated damages soared to USD 16 billion, with confirmed fatalities and an estimated toll on human life. The southwestern regions of Mexico bore witness to the raw force of nature, a stark reminder of the unpredictable dance between land and sea during hurricane season.
