Flood September 14, 2023 · Patillas, Puerto Rico

Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.

What the National Weather Service wrote

A media broadcaster reported that Rio Grande de Patillas was out of its banks along road PR-184, near Barrio Jagual and at the other side of El Escondite de Don Claudio. The road remained passable.

The wider storm

Although the influence in the local weather due to Hurricane Lee was lessening, the wind flow remained from the south or slightly southeasterly. Under this wind flow, showers moved the Caribbean Sea into southern Puerto Rico, resulting in some water surges and rivers reaching flood stage. Strong thunderstorms also developed along the northern municipalities of Puerto Rico, with gusty winds causing minor damage to zinc roof and tree limbs down.

Began near Patillas (18.0317, -66.0331).
