Hurricane Otis made landfall on Wednesday near Acapulco, Mexico on the Pacific Coast, as a Category 5 Hurricane, according to the US National Hurricane Center. The NHC said that Otis had maximum sustained wind speeds of 165 miles per hour (265 kilometers per hour) when it slammed ashore.
"Catastrophic damage likely where the core of the hurricane moves onshore," the NHC warned.
The hurricane is forecast to bring up to 15 inches (38 centimeters) in some regions, raising concerns of flashfloods, mudslides and a "life-threatening" storm surge in Guerrero's mountainous regions, the center said.
