Hurricane Otis
-
This doesn't look good. Hurricane Otis has undergone rapid intensification. In just 12 hours, it has grown from a tropic storm into a category 4 hurricane. It's located in the Eastern Pacific and appears to be heading toward Acapulco, Mexico making landfall as a category 5 hurricane. Mexico isn't prepared for this. Every weather model has failed to correctly forecast its rapid intensification. I've never heard of that happening before. I wish they would make a point of including a hurricane's barometric pressure in the updates. According to Wikipedia, the pressure is reported to be 927 mbar (hPa); 27.37 inHg. For comparison, the lowest barometric ever recorded for a hurricane was 882 mbar. The lower the barometric pressure, the more powerful it is.

I wish them luck. I am still fighting my Homeowners Insurance company from Hurricane IDA 2+years later. :sigh: There is NO way to prepare for a Hurricane. Take it from me I have lived through many hurricanes in New Orleans.
Blown Away...
