Hurricane Otto has killed several people and forced thousands to flee. Here’s the latest.
The death toll from Hurricane Otto has risen to 12 after Costa Rican authorities announced nine deaths after the storm cut through Central America.
Costa Rican President Luis Guillermo Solis told the Associated Press that nine people were killed in the town of Guayabo de Bagaces, a town south of the Costa Rica-Nicaragua border.
Earlier in the week, civil defense officials in Panama announced that two people died in landslides and a child was killed when a tree collapsed on top of a car outside a school in Panama City days ago, before Otto strengthened to a hurricane. Panama’s civil defense director Jose Donderis said the landslide occurred just west of Panama City and trapped nine people. Seven people were rescued.
