RamblinRed Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Article on wing gust as well as early predictions on insurance damage. The fact that alot of Acapulco (including some commercial real estate) is not insured is going to make this even worse long term. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/11/01/hurricane-otis-produced-205-mph-wind-gust-among-strongest-ever-measured/ “The direct physical damage and net-loss business interruption costs from Hurricane Otis will result in a minimum $10 billion in economic losses,” Steve Bowen, chief science officer for the global reinsurance broker Gallagher Re, said in an email. “It will be one of the costliest natural catastrophe events on record for Mexico.” Verisk, a data analytics and technology firm, estimates insured losses of 3 to 6 billion dollars, most of it due to Otis’s extreme winds.

Normandy Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Otis is easily one of the wildest hurricanes I’ve seen. The damage it did in the small amount of time was something else. Hopefully the city is on their way to a fast recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
