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

What the National Weather Service wrote

Flood waters entered a residence in front of Ave Pedro Albizu Campos.

The wider storm

Moisture pulled into the region by TC Tammy (by that time well north of the area), in combination with an upper-level trough, a frontal boundary and a pre-frontal trough, produced numerous showers and thunderstorms across the islands. Between 3 and 7 inches of rain were observed across the northern, eastern, and central portions of Puerto Rico. Several Debris Flow episodes and at least 1 case of wind damage were reported. Swells from Tammy also produced hazardous marine and coastal conditions, resulting in coastal flood in several northern areas.

Began near Dorado (18.4693, -66.2695).
