What the reports say
Written by National Weather Service staff at the time of the event · public domain
One person died Tuesday night and another lost his leg when a rock slid off a mountain and crashed into the pickup these persons were riving along highway 156 heading from Naranjito to Comerio in Puerto Rico. Although the area where this incident occurred was not affected by significant flooding, the terrain was saturated due to the rains. This area is along the interior mountaineous section, an area where landslides, mudslides or rockslides are very common during or after heavy rains.
Emergency managers reported flooding on PR-119 near kilometer 63.5 and Junker Jr., caused by recent heavy rain that made the road impassable. Several people in vehicles became trapped. As a result, emergency managers closed the road at that time.
