Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said at least 27 people died when a hurricane struck Acapulco,
At least 27 people were killed and three others remained missing a full day after Mexico's strongest hurricane in recent memory slammed into the resort city of Acapulco, destroying homes, hotels and shopping centers and submerging entire neighborhoods in debris-strewn floodwaters. 'It was very destroyed,' Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said of Acapulco on Thursday. 'There's no precedent for this in recent times.
“When is the government ever going to look after the common people?” a woman named Isabel de la Cruz told a journalist with the Associated Press on Thursday as she tried to move a shopping cart loaded with goods taken from a store — diapers, instant noodles and toilet paper — through the mud. She and her family survived the storm, but it blew off the tin roof of their home, she said. The intensity of the storm took the government and many residents by surprise.
