In a shocking turn of events, Hurricane #Otis in the Eastern Pacific has unexpectedly, explosively intensified from a tropical storm to a Category 4 hurricane in just 12 hours.
Even worse, the storm is expected to make a catastrophic landfall tonight as a Category 5 hurricane near Acapulco, Mexico, home to 1 million people.
Only 18 hours ago, people were expecting a tropical storm at landfall, and now a devastating Category 5 storm is likely.
This is pretty much a worst-case scenario, as residents have little time to find a safe shelter and protect life and property from this life-threatening storm.
A major hurricane (Category 3+) has never made landfall within 50 miles of Acapulco, let alone a Category 5 hurricane.
Otis could become the first Eastern Pacific hurricane ever recorded to make landfall as a Category 5 in Mexico.
Anyone in or near Acapulco should rush storm preparations to completion as their is little time left to shelter from #Otis.
8PM EDT: The National Hurricane Center has issued a special advisory for #HurricaneOtis in the Eastern Pacific. #Otis continues to strengthen and is an extremely dangerous category 4 hurricane that is forecast to be near category 5 when it reaches the southern coast of Mexico.
🇲🇽🌪️ | URGENTE: Otis se intensifica a huracán categoría 4, con vientos de 230 km/h. Se prevé que alcance la categoría 5 y toque la costa sur de México al mediodía de mañana.
🇮🇹Pole en Monza! Muy especial lograrla ante los Tifosi. Cuando los he oído gritar al pasar meta, sabía que la teníamos! Ahora a seguir centrados que corremos mañana. Vamos a darlo absolutamente todo para pelear por la victoria!
