Twenty-seven people are dead and four people are missing after Hurricane Otis made landfall in Acapulco, Mexico, as a Category 5 storm early Wednesday morning, the mayor of the resort city said Thursday at a news conference.
Additionally, damage to Acapulco's General Hospital forced 200 patients to be transferred to other medical facilities, Rosa Isela Rodriguez, secretary of security and citizen protection, told reporters. The hospital will be operating as normal within 24 hours, she added. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said the 27 dead is what hurts the most and offered condolences to their families.
