What the National Weather Service wrote

Emergency managers reported that waters from Quebrada Maracuto, a tributary of the Ro Grande de Loza, overflowed the Rosa lvarez Bridge along PR-853 in Barrio Barrazas, Carolina. This portion of the road was impassable, affecting the surrounding communities of Camino Los Cuba and Camino Rosa Alvarez.

The wider storm

From April 26 through 30, a moist and unstable weather pattern affected Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The episode began as deep tropical moisture moved into the region from the southeast, interacting with deep-layer troughs and supportive jet dynamics aloft. This synoptic setup led to daily rounds of scattered to numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms, especially during the afternoons across the interior and western portions of Puerto Rico.

Began near Carolina (18.3200, -65.9400).
