What the National Weather Service wrote
A report from the 911 call center indicated a house flooding at road PR-1, and Calle 1, near Escuela Juan Mangual.
The wider storm
A very wet and unsettled pattern affected the islands on the first weekend of November. The trough was on the most favorable position for shower development on November 4th, increasing instability aloft. A surface low was induced, causing winds to shift from the south. As a result, a significant flux of moisture was observed. An organized event of rain and thunderstorms was detected, affecting, once again, the south, east and central regions of Puerto Rico. These rains, along with previous rainfalls during the fall months, resulted in numerous reports of mudslides, flooding and rivers overflowing.
Began near Juana Diaz (17.9948, -66.4906).
