Playa Hermosa Turtle Camp hit by Hurricane Otis - Catherine - 11-05-2023
Hurricane Otis was approaching as a tropical storm. In a short time it upgraded to a Category 5 Hurricane.
Playa Hermosa Turtle Camp was in its path and it was badly damaged. They didn't have time to protect the turtle nests. Much of their property has been damages. It is not clear if they can continue to do the work of looking out for sea turtles.

Hurricane Otis was a real surprise. No one expected it to upgrade so much.
Much was damaged by the extreme high winds.
Hopefully the turtle rescue can find a way to carry on. The turtles need the help.
