"Right now, money's no use to us because there's nothing to buy, everything's been looted," 57-year-old Acapulco resident Rodolfo Villagomez said after Otis tore through the city."It was total chaos. You could hear it here hissing like a bull." Elsewhere, household detritus was littered among ruined deck chairs and jumbles of mangled trees outside wrecked homes.
Murphy said she found out on social media he had died after residents discovered his body close to where he was staying.
