Death

What the National Weather Service wrote

An 83-year-old man (tourist) drowned while swimming at Playa Jobos in Isabela.

The wider storm

A surface high pressure across the North Atlantic promoted a moderate to locally fresh easterly wind flow, creating localized choppy conditions. These choppy seas resulted in breaking waves between 3 and 5 feet, increasing the risk to moderate, especially along Jobo's beach, located across northwest PR.
