What the National Weather Service wrote

Emergency managers reported that PR-191, right by El Yunque Treehouse in Mameyes 2, was completely impassable. Emergency managers were waiting for flood waters to subside so they could reach people trapped, but secure, in that area. The USGS river sensor 10 minutes prior measured 8.90 ft of water levels.

The wider storm

Troughs at different levels of the atmosphere helped thunderstorms develop during the afternoon over the interior and northwest sections of Puerto Rico, and between eastern PR and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Rainfall amounts were generally between 2 and 3 inches with the heaviest showers. Flooding was reported over the eastern interior.

Began near Rio Grande (18.3600, -65.7700).
