It’s a real parade of disruptions that will concern us until at least All Saints’ Day. A parade that we haven't seen for a long time. Lots of rain to expect and a risk of gale/storm the coming weekend without being able to be precise at this time.In this west/southwest flow with a fairly low latitude jet current, the heaviest accumulations of rain will be recorded in the center-west, west-facing reliefs of the Massif Central, Jura, northern Alps.We will certainly exceed 150 mm (3 inches) in accumulations between today and next Tuesday in quite a few places in the aforementioned sectors

The last 24 hours have again been very rainy in the south-east. We recorded 111 mm at Villefort in Lozère, 106 mm at La Souche in Ardèche and the Nice-Pessicart station measured 100 mm!

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.

Yes, the people in Acapulco, Guerrero are not prepared for a Category 5 hurricane, it will be a scary night.
 
Otis is now Category 5

An extremely serious situation for #Acapulco as the destructive core of Hurricane #Otis will likely to come near or over the large city in the next few hours.

This is an unprecedented event: Acapulco has never faced a hurricane anywhere near this intensity in recorded history.

Acapulco is in the dark.
Hurricane Otis hit this city of more than one million inhabitants hard, with winds of 165 mph, and logically the effects are immediate, such as the interruption of electricity service.

Will what is happening in the Middle East have any influence?

Hurricane Otis update

As power is restored, more videos of what Hurricane Otis left behind in the port of Acapulco are being published.

That's all along the coastline, so the tourist district. Most locals live on the mountains and the houses are predominantly made of concrete. So I'm crossing fingers that at least those areas are relatively unscathed. But there's no communication in or out and might be that way for a few days.

Very relative unscathed, there is no information yet, more precisely because they are in the foothills of the mountains with no electricity, no roads and there is information of landslides on the highway. So, perhaps concrete houses be there, but I would not rule out landslides at urban and rural areas.


Some parts of the highway
Around 4:00 p.m. the southbound traffic on Autopista del Sol was reopened after the damage caused by Hurricane Otis. It would only be open for the passage of official and emergency vehicles.

Just want to point out how sudden everything was, went from a tropical storm on its way to Cat 1, to Cat 5 in 12 hours, here's the entry from Wikipedia for Otis:

Hurricane Otis was a small, but very powerful tropical cyclone which made landfall near Acapulco as a Category 5 hurricane. Otis was the first Pacific hurricane to make landfall at Category 5 intensity and surpassed Hurricane Patricia as the strongest landfalling Pacific hurricane on record.
Click to expand...

The extreme intensification was almost entirely unforeseen: just 24 hours before Otis reached Category 5, the NHC forecast a peak intensity of only 70 mph (110 km/h).[8] The forecast track of the tropical cyclone also did not show the system making landfall in Southern Mexico; instead, it turned the system westward, keeping it offshore.[4]
Click to expand...

The Wikipedia entry blames forecasting errors for the utter unpreparedness:

Only 16 hours before landfall, the NHC predicted that Otis would peak as a Category 1 hurricane with 90 mph (150 km/h) winds and make landfall between 6:00 am and 6:00 pm local time (12:00 UTC and 00:00 UTC the following day) on October 25; this not only underpredicted the landfall intensity by 75 mph (120 km/h) but also forecast the storm to make landfall later than it actually did (12:25 am local time; 06:25 UTC)
Click to expand...

Suggesting BOTH the intensity and landfall forecasts were wrong. Some more on this:

Numerical weather prediction models severely failed to capture the magnitude of explosive intensification that occurred, in part due to a dearth of data (only a single Hurricane Hunters flight was flown and there is no Doppler radar in the landfall area). Some model runs did not predict landfall at all.[26]

I wonder if its common to have little data available for a prediction. But should we discard an anomaly so quickly? Meaning that the models were really not prepared for this outlier, and the question arises if such events could become more common, I guess we can assume that they will be.

Not to mention that it was a straight bullseye on a city of one million people. Given the sudden intensity, which would not give much chance for people to evacuate, I wonder if there is some 'karmic' element to it. Acapulco is a resort and a party destination - the party is not always the healthiest, and there's even rumors of drug cartel presence. Did that send a signal to the Universe or am I getting too biblical?

We seem to be entering a stage of instant Karma.

In 2016 a group of Jewish investors called BHRE BAYAN started the construction of luxury homes and a synagogue for 300 people from the Jewish community in the "Diamante" zone of Acapulco (Exclusive zone) The Diamond tourist zone was one of the most affected by Hurricane Otis. No casualties have been reported after the event (at least so far) but only material losses in the millions of pesos.​

It made me think about Hurricane Erin on 9/11 but in reverse. A category 3 headed for the New York area, which all of a sudden was kicked away by a cold front, and so that day was relatively sunny and clear.

Practically all of Acapulco's Diamond Zone was left unusable.
Reconstruction will be slow and very costly but resilience is what will prevail. #HuracanOtis
