On this day 14 years ago, Acapulco Mexico was hit by Hurricane Pauline, the 6th worst hurricane to ever develop in the Pacific Ocean. This hurricane not only killed more than 500 people, but 1,900 people went missing, and 300,000 were left homeless. This event devastated Acapulco and Oaxaca Mexico, and left a shortage of food and water for the citizens in this area, which got the United States involved. The Red Cross raised money, and larger cities such as Los Angeles and San Antonio sent comfort kits. This major hurricane that occurred brought closer the North American Continent, but it is unfortunate that many helpless people were killed.
