Description
Tourists flock to watch a fireworks display over Acapulco's seafront to celebrate the New Year just two months after the Mexican resort was hammered by Hurricane Otis. The devastating storm -- recorded at top-intensity Category 5 when it roared ashore in late October -- left nearly 50 people dead and another 30 missing, some 90 percent of tourist establishments affected and the once-vibrant port city licking its wounds. Some tourists stay in tents for the New Year celebrations due to a lack of space in the hotels that have reopened since the deadly storm. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
