What the National Weather Service wrote

Landslide reported by a 911 employee in Road 690, in Vega Alta, near Vega Baja.

The wider storm

A wet pattern peaked Friday, December 22nd, and Saturday, December 23rd, as a front north of Puerto Rico and the USVI, sank southwards over the northeast Caribbean to end the week. Under this pattern, fragments of moisture brought periods of showery weather. A mid- to upper-level trough and associated jet maxima provided favorable conditions for shower development. Periods of locally heavy rains caused ponding of water on roads, flooding and hazardous driving conditions. A landslide was also reported.

Began near Vega Baja (18.4498, -66.3427).
