Various storms are hitting different parts of the world with force and one of them is Hurricane Otis, which has caused great material and personal damage in several areas of Mexico. The country's Armed Forces have doubled their deployment in the state of Guerrero to carry out rescue work after the hurricane, which has left at least 27 dead and four missing in the area. Precisely, two of the missing were the in-laws of the artist Shaila Dúrcal. Finally, this Saturday the Telecinco program Fiesta confirmed that both had been found alive.
Very good news for the family of the Spanish artist's partner. Finally, the parents of fellow singer Dorio Ferreira have been found alive. Carmen Morales, Shaila's sister, explained the hard times that her sister has experienced in the last few hours. "My brother-in-law's parents live in Acapulco and they have not had communication since the hurricane occurred. They have not known for more than 24 hours if they are well or not," said the actress, according to Semana magazine.
The reality is that this has deeply affected Shaila, since she and her in-laws are very close. The singer has been with her partner for more than two decades, and her relationship with her family is very good. A few weeks ago, Rocío Dúrcal's daughter published a photograph of her with her mother-in-law, whom she affectionately calls "mommy." "Because you are the mother I have now in this wonderful land. I always celebrate you, my beautiful, cool mom. I love you," she said then.
These are especially tense times in the North American country. The Minister of Defense, Luis Cresencio Sandoval, has indicated that a total of 13,700 troops have been deployed in Acapulco, the city most affected by the rains. The objective now is the restoration of public services and care for victims, as well as finding the missing. Without a doubt, it is being one of the most complicated weeks for the country and its inhabitants.
"In the number of personnel we have working to help the population, there are 5,000 elements of the Navy, 6,500 of the Army and 1,700 of the National Guard: a total of 13,700, Mr. President," indicated Sandoval in a telephone conversation with the Mexican president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Be that as it may, Dúrcal and his family now breathe a little easier, since his in-laws have finally been able to return home safe and sound.
