Hurricane Pauline Strikes Acapulco Tourists Safe
Tourists in Acapulco awoke to high winds and flash floods as Hurricane Pauline battered the resort city. An American visitor described the wind as strong while others sheltered in five star hotels. No foreign tourists were reported killed or injured, but beachfront damage left sand stripped away and hill communities faced mud and debris. Local residents pulled bodies from mud as shops and bars closed and violence of nature underscored by stark poverty.
