Thread with lots of pictures throughout Acapulco (not just the big hotels) showing the extent of the devastion. (Hopefully this will link to the photos on the thread rather than the first few posts of text. If not keep scrolling down until you reach the photos.)
The text is in Spanish which reads as follows:
In Acapulco everything is uglier than it looks. The videos from the coast where windowless and destroyed hotels appear fall short of the periphery.
It is true that there were a lot of rats and they have already stolen everything from the stores, but those who have not left their homes do not have water and do not have food.
Most of the houses that are in the upper area were left without glass, in the lower area they were flooded up to the waist, now only mud remains. Almost all the tin roofs were also blown off.
The shelters are overwhelmed, there is no response from the federal or state governments, much less from Aunt Abelina. The main antennas fell down, just two hours ago the Telcel signal was restored, the Telmex numbers are already giving tone.
I'm going to put pictures of how little they have uploaded in the groups. Exclusively with the desire that they see that in the little town there are not only hotels.
I can't believe how little coverage this is getting in the media generally. This is the first cat 5 to hit a large city. Its going to get a lot lot worse. Looting already was happening (argument was that the rats were already getting the food and since there was still no federal help, people might as well under the circumstances)
I do think its only a matter of time before we get another cat 5 direct hit on other cities and this is just a warning for whats to come. The lack of warning is the scariest bit for this one.
