Acapulco on the west coast of Central Mexico is very slowly beginning the recovery process after this week's devastation in the city of 800,000 from Hurricane Otis.
Authorities say about 40% of the area now has electricity with portable generators being utilized. 10,000 troops have been brought to the area, and the President of Mexico visited yesterday, with streets unpassable, having to drive through mud, and then walk to the areas of devastation.

The Hurricane was the strongest to strike the Pacific coast of Mexico, increasing in wind strength over 100 mph in a period of 24 hours. Global warming and the unusually high sea temperature were contributing factors to the quick strengthening of the Category 5 hurricane.
