Death

What the National Weather Service wrote

On August 24th, a man climbed onto a rocky area at Mar Chiquita, Manati, when a wave swept him, and he fell into the sea. His body was recovered the next morning.

The wider storm

A long period northerly swell from the then distant TC Erin and AL90 promoted life-threatening rip currents, rough surf conditions, and Small Craft Advisory conditions during the penultimate weekend of August. Three fatalities and multiple injuries were reported at north-oriented beaches of Puerto Rico.
