Just two days ago, the beaches were thronged with picnickers, sunbathers, surfers and holidaymakers. There were hardly any vacant rooms in hotels that line the coast of Mexico's most famous resort, Acapulco. However, the city had the most unwelcome intruder, a monster in the form of hurricane Pauline, yesterday. It struck the city with devastating fury, unleashing deadly torrents that swept away people, cars and boulders. The other cities and ports along the Pacific coast of Mexico were also not spared. The latest reports reveal that more than 100 people had lost their lives. Twice the number were reported injured and many more went missing. There were massive traffic jams. Before long, there was a breakdown in communication. Worse still, electricity supply was cut off. Many people were stranded. Emergency calls could not be made. There was a great pandemonium. Many a family has been missing since the incident. One can only hope nothing untoward has happened to them. For the time being, many families had to take refuge in a relief center as their houses were damaged beyond recognition. This is indeed a very sad day for the people of Mexico.
