Footage shows Acapulco pool collapsing due to landslide in the wake of hurricane John

Hurricane John has been described as a “zombie” hurricane, as it made landfall in Mexico on Monday the 23^rd of September, dissipated the next day, and then restrengthened into a hurricane over the Pacific Ocean before returning to the country’s coast on the 25^th.

This peculiar phenomenon is most likely attributed to the warm sea temperatures, which contributed to the hurricane’s reformation.

It has so far been made known that hurricane John has caused flooding and landslides in Mexico, claiming the lives of at least 5 people, most of which were attributed to mudslides.

According to the BBC, the city of Acapulco received more than 500mm of rain this week, while some 431mm of it was within just 24 hours.

Residents of high-risk areas in the city were asked to evacuate to temporary shelters, as neighborhoods were getting flooded.

Finally, a video has emerged showing the pool of an Acapulco house coming crushing down a hill among a landslide.
