Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.
What the National Weather Service wrote
A small landslide was reported on road 625 near a restaurant towards the Arecibo Observatory.
The wider storm
The interaction of Hurricane Kirk and another low pressure across the north Atlantic modulated the local weather pattern, pooling abundant moisture and promoting light winds in the region. Additionally, increasing instability due to the proximity of a mid to upper level trough favored deeper convection development each afternoon. This resulted in widespread showers and thunderstorms each day along Puerto Rico, with daily amounts ranging from 2 to 4 inches, and localized higher amounts. With an elevated flooding risk, several flood and landslide reports were received.
Began near Arecibo (18.3468, -66.7520).
