From hoping to hear from loved ones to unburying homes from knee-deep mud to looking for food and supplies, residents of Acapulco, Mexico, have been grappling with the devastating aftermath of the strongest hurricane to hit the city in decades. “Acapulco is undone,” resident David Campos told Noticias Telemundo in Spanish. On Friday, more than half of the city still had no electricity or water and residents remained stranded in remote areas with little to no communication.
Cell phone signals are slowly returning since Otis completely cut off communication in the area. Hurricane survivors have begun contacting friends and relatives living in other parts of Mexico and the U.S. using online messaging platforms like WhatsApp and Messenger. Hurricane survivors in Acapulco have been using online messaging platforms to share photos of flooded neighborhoods as well as tips for finding cell phone signal spots.
