Mexico: Search for missing continues in port of hurricane hit Acapulco

The Mexican navy is carrying out search operations for people missing at sea after Hurricane Otis lashed Acapulco, leaving at least 45 people dead.
Three foreigners were among at least 45 people killed when Hurricane Otis lashed Acapulco last week, authorities said Monday, as Mexico's president promised to put the devastated beachside city "back on its feet”. The foreign victims -- from the United States, Britain and Canada -- were residents of Acapulco, Evelyn Salgado, governor of the southern state of Guerrero, told reporters.
The latest toll given by Salgado was slightly lower than the 48 deaths reported by the government on Sunday. She said that 47 people were still unaccounted for. Otis smashed into the port city early on Wednesday with winds of 165 miles per hour, leaving a trail of destruction. The storm severely damaged or destroyed many buildings and led to power and communication outages.
