What the National Weather Service wrote

Rio Blanco was out of its banks and made PR-31 impassable, near exit #22. Two vehicles were trapped in the flood waters.

The wider storm

Above-normal moisture due to a tropical wave, and a low pressure northeast of the

CWA resulted in the development of heavy rainfall and strong thunderstorms along the northern half of Puerto Rico. This activity led to urban and small stream flooding along the eastern and northern portions of Puerto Rico during the first couple of days of the month.

Began near Naguabo (18.2200, -65.7800).
