Downed electrical poles and lines blown over by Hurricane Otis blanket a road in Acapulco, Mexico, Friday, Oct. 27, 2023. is growing as searchers recover more bodies from Acapulco's harbor and under fallen trees and other storm debris.
Kristian Vera stood on an Acapulco beach Saturday looking out toward dozens of sunken boats, including three of her own, all marked by floating buoys or just poking out of the water. Vera took turns with four others swimming out with empty gas jugs for flotation to try to raise their sunken boats from the shallow harbor.
Earlier Saturday, Security Secretary Rosa Icela Rodríguez said in a recorded video message with López Obrador posted to the platform X that the probable cause of death for the 39 was "suffocation by submersion." She said that the victims had not yet been identified and that investigations continued. Military personnel and volunteers worked along Acapulco's main tourist strip. They sliced through fallen palm trees and metal signs. Cellphone signals were partially recovered near some of the most luxurious hotels, and authorities placed a charging station for people to charge their phones.
