Hurricane Otis, which killed more than two dozen people in southern Mexico this week, exemplified a phenomenon that meteorologists fear will become more and more common: a severe hurricane that arrives with little warning or time to prepare.
Judson Jones, who covers natural disasters for The Times, explains why Hurricane Otis packed such an unexpected punch.
Guest: Judson Jones (https://www.nytimes.com/by/judson-jones?smid=pc-thedaily), who covers natural disasters and Earth’s changing climate for The New York Times.
