What the National Weather Service wrote

Several people were evacuated from El Yunque National Forest due to heavy rains affecting road PR-988.

The wider storm

An approaching frontal boundary, along with patchy moisture reaching the area, and increased instability due to a developing low north of the islands, resulted in the formation of areas of showers and thunderstorms. These storms resulted in several reports of flooding, mudslides, and even a funnel cloud.

Began near Rio Grande (18.2960, -65.7938).
