Description
People take food, water and other goods from a looted store in Mexico's Acapulco after Hurricane Otis caused at least 27 deaths and major damage in the resort city. Otis crashed into Acapulco as a scale-topping category 5 storm, shattering windows, uprooting trees and largely cutting off communications and road links with the region. Hurricanes hit Mexico every year on both its Pacific and Atlantic coasts, usually between May and November, though few make landfall as a Category 5. IMAGES
