What the National Weather Service wrote

Emergency managers reported that Road PR-676 was completely impassable due to Rio Cibuco being out of its banks.

The wider storm

Tropical Storm Earl moved north of Puerto Rico early in the month. Although the storm never made landfall, it was responsible for shifting the local wind flow from the south. The islands were under this moist flow for around a week. Adding local effects to the mix, active afternoons were observed, with strong showers and thunderstorms. Several flood and mudslide reports were received.

Began near Vega Baja (18.4427, -66.3722).
