Hurricane Otis Slams Mexico

Hurricane Otis rapidly evolved from a small tropical storm in the eastern Pacific Ocean to one of the strongest hurricanes in recorded history to make landfall in Mexico, based on wind intensity. Satellite imagery captured this record-breaking development. The system started as a small tropical storm off the coast of Guerrero State earlier in the week. On Tuesday morning, the forecast called for minor hurricane impacts along the Mexican coast. Then things took a turn for the worse.
