What the National Weather Service wrote

Gusty winds from a thunderstorm resulted in downed trees that brought down electrical lines onto the roadway obstructing traffic near PR-455 KM 12.

The wider storm

A moist and unstable weather pattern affected Puerto Rico from March 24 through March 28, 2026, as a mid- to upper-level trough interacted with abundant tropical moisture and favorable upper-level dynamics. Periods of heavy showers and thunderstorms developed across the island, resulting in flooding concerns, urban and small-stream flooding, and rapid rises on rivers and streams. The threat was enhanced by strong upper-level support associated with a strengthening jet stream and persistent moisture across the region.

Began near San Sebastian (18.3600, -66.9100).
