Otis pummeled the city with winds of 165 miles per hour (266 km per hour) early on Wednesday, flooding thoroughfares, tearing roofs from residences and hotels, submerging vehicles, and severing communication, road, and air connections.
The cost of devastation left by the Category 5 storm was estimated at billions of dollars, and more than 8,000 armed forces members were sent to help clean up the stricken city.
