A day after disastrous Hurricane Otis made landfall on Mexico's southern coast as a Category 5 storm, authorities have released the first causality toll. Thursday morning, officials reported 27 confirmed deaths and at least four people still missing, as well as tens of thousands of residents left without power or clean water in Acapulco.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said in a press conference early Thursday that the government is working to restore electricity and begin the cleanup of the destruction left in the storm's path. Photos and videos from the southern state of Guerrero show flooded streets, downed powerlines and debris from partially collapsed buildings strewn in the roads, posing a communication barrier that López Obrador acknowledges impacted government response times.
