New blow to the tourist area by “John”

ACAPULCO.— The Diamond area of ​​Acapulcoknown for its unstable soil and wetlands, was another of the flooded points in the port where several families were even trapped in their homes, publishes the Proceso virtual portal.

In this part, it was learned, in addition to the rains that did not stop, the Tres Palos lagoon overflowed, to the extent that only their elevated structures were visible from the buildings and houses.

The Acapulco International Airport is just one of the flooded points.

But the impact reached almost all areas, including rural areas. In several communities the water flooded houses, particularly due to the flooding of the Papagayo River.

The tourist areas of Acapulco and, therefore, the tourist service providers, are also another damaged wing of the port. The restaurateurs of Pie de la Cuesta expressed their dismay through broadcasts on social networks, because the high waves destroyed a large part of their recently enabled areas.

“Today is a sad day, a black day for Pie de la Cuesta, unfortunately the storm ‘John’ has caused incredible waves, along with the opening of the two bars, Barra Vieja and Barra de Coyuca, raised the sea level and “This is causing us to have waves eight to nine meters high, causing us to have lost all our beach furniture, all our bowers,” says a man in a video in the ruins of what appears to have been his business, which, according to what he said, , had barely recovered.

From Acapulco they have reported many damages due to the amount of water that fell, such as the roads cut off and covered, including Escénica Avenue, one of the most important roads because it connects the Dorada and Diamante areas, which was closed because some large rocks broke off from the hill, blocked traffic and increased the risk of more landslides.

The issue is that Acapulco has not yet recovered from Hurricane “Otis”, which was considered a disaster never before seen in the territory. Just in October it would be one year since it passed.
