What the National Weather Service wrote

Emergency managers reported floodwaters along PR-2 near Mayaguez Mall. Flooding was observed in both directions, from Mayagez to Hormigueros and vice versa. Vehicles were still moving, but there was water accumulating on the roadway. Based on radar estimates, around 2 inches of rain fell.

The wider storm

On the afternoon of April 30th, locally induced showers with isolated thunderstorms developed over portions of the interior and north-central PR and steered by southeasterly winds towards the western half. This resulted in urban and small stream flooding, as well as isolated flash flooding, over sectors of interior to western PR including Hormigueros through the evening hours.

Began near Hormigueros (18.1537, -67.1449).
