 Category 5 Hurricane hit Acapulco last week with no warning. In essence, it quite literally erased the city.

As Mexico is distasteful prone, we had a disaster fund for these cases which the gov disappeared because of “corruption”. Disaster hit & now all the resources to rebuild are gone.

As all orders of gov are from the ruling party and there’s elections next year, they are keeping it quiet.

The death toll is in the thousands but they are underreporting them.

Search for Chef José Andrés & World Central Kitchen … he’s there helping out.
