Hurricane Otis has now fizzled out, but it has done a lot of damage across western Mexico. The death toll remains unclear as the storm completely cut communications, but debris is everywhere and almost everything has been destroyed across the state of Guerrero. Landslides have wiped out entire villages in the more mountainous areas, and the city of Acapulco (with a population of over 1 million) has been plunged into darkness by the hurricane. It brought winds of over 165 mph earlier this week to the city with extremely heavy rain after rapidly intensifying in the eastern Pacific. In fact, it intensified so fast that meteorologists were scrambling to get coverage on it and make new predictions, because it was forecast to hit as a weaker hurricane. Guerrero is now starting to recover from the catastrophic Otis, but it will be a while before things return to normal.
Fact of the Day: Africa is the world's only continent with parts in all four hemispheres.
Quote of the Day: If you're always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.

Word of the Day (Merriam-Webster): Extraneous (adj)- Something described as extraneous does not form a necessary part of something else, and may also therefore be considered irrelevant or unimportant (as in “extraneous details”).
In a Sentence: The woman who reported the robbery kept bringing up extraneous facts, such as what she'd had for lunch.
