STORYLINE:
Hurricane Otis left at least 27 people dead and several missing after sweeping the southern Mexican state of Guerrero earlier this week.
Otis made landfall close to Guerrero's famed Pacific Coast resort of Acapulco early Wednesday as a category 5 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale. The speed with which it intensified has led meteorologists to consider it an "atypical" phenomenon.
Otis blew out windows, ripped off roofs, flooded streets and knocked down trees and light poles across Mexico's port city of Acapulco and surrounding communities, leaving unprecedented wreckage.
