What the National Weather Service wrote

A severe thunderstorm that produced a tornado earlier in the day caused strong gusty winds along the western coast of Aguadilla. Particularly across the area near Crash Boat Beach, resulting in trees falling onto parked cars and fallen power lines.

The wider storm

The combination of abundant tropical moisture from a departing tropical wave interacting with an upper-level trough north of the region produced strong afternoon thunderstorms over northwestern Puerto Rico on the 9th of August. A weak EF-0 tornado and strong outflow boundaries caused thunderstorm wind damage across the municipality of Aguadilla.

Began near Aguadilla (18.4568, -67.1624).
