It hit very close to Acapulco, went straight inland, and is being broken up by the mountains. Best case scenario for Zihuatanejo, but rough for Acapulco.

The Telmex fiber line for Zihua goes through Acapulco, and Telcel runs on the same infrastructure. Probably the cable or other equipment was damaged by flooding or slides. Megacable, AT&T, etc are on different networks and seem to be fine.

Last time that fiber cable was damaged by digging, it took 12 hours to repair. But that was not after a major emergency, so could be worse this time.

No internet also. I’m in la ropa and it’s strange that nothing seems to be happening.

I am sceptical that any internet outage in Zihuatanejo would berelated to Otis. Here in Troncones my MegaCable service is uninterrupted.

We cancelled our trip, yesterday as NOAA put out a scary alert. And yes, BIGGEST HURRICANE EVER TO HIT THE COAST OF MEXICO, least in our lifetimes. Zihua looks to have dodged it but not surprised the internet is out. The News here in Estates United are eating it up but sparse video. I think the Army is going to Acapulco. Can they wax the cartels while they're there???

Mostly a lurker here (Hi!) but I’m in La Ropa and it is eerily calm. Not a leaf or plant is even moving on our terrace. Did we escape the wrath of Otis? Or is there more to come….
Ps We have no internet.
