Death

Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.

What the National Weather Service wrote

Late morning showers and thunderstorms across the northeast section of Puerto Rico produced brief but heavy rainfall that varied from one to three inches. The heavy downpours caused some rivers and streams along the northeast to quickly react and rise to near or above flood stage. Runoff from this rainfall caused River Rio Blanco in Naguabo to rise. The flood crest overtook a person that was swimming in the river and drowned.

Began near Naguabo (18.2167, -65.7333).
