Devastating storms have left 80 people dead across Mexico with residents in Acapulco facing looters and crocodile-infested floodwaters.
In Acapulco, hundreds of thousands of residents have begun returning to homes, wading through waist-high water.
Pictures showed residents battling with a crocodile, spotted in floodwater in the centre of the holiday resort city.
An official from Mexico's transport authority said it will be Friday before two key highways that connect the city with Mexico City are cleared.
Tropical Storm Manuel has now strengthened into a hurricane. Image: NHC Footage also showed widespread looting in the city.
Tropical Storm Manuel hit the Pacific coast of Mexico over the weekend and Hurricane Ingrid battered the Gulf coast on Monday.
Manuel strengthened to a hurricane on Thursday as it moved northwards along the coastline, the US National Hurricane Centre (NHC) said.
It warned heavy rain from the storm will trigger further flash flooding and mudslides in the states of Sinaloa, Nayarit and southern Baja California.
Mexico's federal Civil Protection co-ordinator Luis Felipe Puente said 35,000 homes have been damaged or destroyed.
Some 5,300 people have been flown out of Acapulco on 49 flights on Wednesday, but an estimated 55,000 tourists still remain stranded.
