Lahaina 2.0 in Acapulco Mexico
WE ARE THE NEWS
I will let you be the judge. There seems to be a news black out about Acapulco. Are they going to make a smart city out of the rubble? It has a large very poor population. The government is blocking aid from getting into the city and travel to the poorer areas surrounding the resort is all but impossible. The people were given no warning. Communications down. Sound familiar? I don't care for Jeff Berwick, but I will let the photos and videos speak for themselves. No one seems to be reporting on this with all the air being sucked out of the room and focused on the ME and the DC circus.
Lahaina 2.0 in Acapulco Mexico
AN ARIAL VIEW OF THE DEVASTATION IN ACAPULCO MEXICO
Sticky for nothing on any News outlet about this due to Israel-Gaza being the main focus for most. But some serious damage in Acapulco. Place didn’t get burned, but some serious hurricane damage to a lot of the beach front. Unknown injuries or deaths so far.
The injuries and deaths at this point are hard to nail down. The hillside areas where the poorest people live from what I understand are inaccessible and the government does not seem to want to help. Not a lot of information coming out of there. I have a friend from Acapulco and they have still not been able to make contact with family. Musk wants to put up Starlink in Gaza. Someone needs to alert him to Acapulco.
I heard the same, I also heard that their was almost no rain, just wind.
I watched this thing intensify quickly, make landfall, and then just disappear. No rain and wind further inland. I have never seen anything like it in all the years I have been watching hurricanes. You are right. The reports I am getting said there was not the heavy rains you would expect to see with this level of storm. It was all very high winds.
Intensify quickly is quite the understatement. Clif high said yesterday that in the few hours it took to go from tropical storm to cat 5, it absorbed more energy than what was produced in all the electric plants in all of North America combined during those hours. Where did all that energy come from??? It sure didn't leave a frozen ocean in its wake, so there must have been another energy source??? Just like Lahaina....
We had a storm like that in Louisville Ky, I watched it on radar. One minute nothing, then a massive storm appeared over the city with almost no rain but huge electrical storm. My friend said during the storm the fluorescent tube‘s in his light fixtures were flickering and glowing during a power outage.
And yet other sources say there was loads of rain, a landslide triggered, river overflowing it’s banks. So much conflicting info.

I'm beginning to think the want to milk it for deaths to pump up the deportation numbers. Plus what's the off chance that many of those acupulcans are in the u.s.a. with all the others while thisnwent down. Are we gonna find this city full of the next wave of invaders from the south? Turned up my tinfoil hat there for a minute.
At this point, nothing would surprise me. I can only go by what others like Jeff and Max are saying about where they live. I think they would have noticed by now if there had been lots of people leaving. Although, I fully expect there to be some moving north given what has happened there. Mexico has no social safety net. They will have to do something if there are no jobs in Acapulco.
