What the National Weather Service wrote

Afternoon showers and thunderstorms produced 5 to 6 inches of rainfall across portions of the Luquillo rainforest. Runoff from this rainfall caused the River Fajardo to swell. The flood wave had already passed, however the river current remained strong when two individuals swimming in the river were unable to escape the strong current, and drowned.
