What the National Weather Service wrote

NWS Employee indicated that a lane in the marginal near Plaza Trujillo and PR-181 is impassable, and cars have to turn around and take alternative routes.

The wider storm

Under a surface-induced perturbation and associated mid to upper-level through...an unsettled workweek was observed for most of the region. Above normal precipitable water (PWAT) values was observed, with available moisture reaching the mid to upper levels. All of this caused the potential for isolated to scattered thunderstorms to increase. Although PWAT values decreased on Wednesday, fairly unstable conditions, diurnal and local effects promoted continued convective development for the second half of the workweek under ENE winds. This weather pattern lead to quick river rises and water surges with flooding, flash flooding, and landslides.

Began near Trujillo Alto (18.3697, -66.0136).
