The flooding affected many municipalities island wide. The torrential rainfall resulted in severe flooding to rivers, streams, and roads, causing sinkholes, land/mudslides, and structural collapses mainly across the southern half of the island. Specifically, the heaviest rainfall, and most severe effects, occurred across the municipalities of Cabo Rojo, Guayama, Humacao, Patillas, Ponce, and Yabucoa, where in some locations, totals approaching 30 inches of rainfall fell in a three-day period, ending at 8 am Tuesday, September 23, 2008.The heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding were a direct result of a large tropical disturbance that moved slowly west across the island. On occasion, tropical disturbances may develop into tropical depressions and, upon further intensification, get named by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) as a tropical storm and/or hurricane. While the National Weather Service (NWS) in San Juan and the NHC closely monitored the system for possible organization into a named storm, multiple reconnaissance flights flown through the disturbance revealed no closed, low-level, surface circulation, which was needed to satisfy the definition of a tropical depression. It was not until 5 pm Thursday, September 25, 2008 when the system, located about 380 miles north northwest of San Juan, Puerto Rico, was named Tropical Storm Kyle. The strongest effects of the tropical disturbance were first felt in Puerto Rico on Sunday, September 21, 2008. The most intense rainfall occurred in the 24-hour period starting at 8 am Sunday, September 21, 2008 through 8 am Monday, September 22, 2008, with the highest rainfall rates occurring during the overnight hours from sunset on Sunday to sunrise on Monday. The largest rainfall amounts for the 24-hour period ending 8 am Monday, September 22, 2008 were 22.03 inches in Patillas, 20.00 inches in Guayama, 16.00 inches in Cabo Rojo, 14.83 inches in Yabucoa, and 10.81 inches in Ponce. For the combined three-day period, some of these numbers increase further with 29.83 inches in Patillas, 21.86 inches in Yabucoa, 20.52 inches in Ponce, and 17.82 inches in Cabo Rojo. Lesser, but just as significant, amounts, ranging from 5-15 inches of rain, fell across much of the island. The torrential rainfall seen across the island was immediately seen across the extensive river network in Puerto Rico. Some rivers, including the Rio Gurabo, saw water levels rise in excess of 25 feet in less than 12 hours. Parts of the island that were spared the worst of the rain include the northern and northwestern coast, were only moderate rain showers were experienced. The total rainfall amounts recorded from this event are unique in that the 29.83 inches seen in Patillas exceeds the weekly total rainfall of 27.13 inches measured in Juana Diaz during the October 1985 flood event. The 24-hour rainfall totals ending at 8 am Monday, September 22, 2008, which encompassed parts of the southeastern section of the island, including the municipalities of Patillas and Guayama, exceeded 200-year 24-hour rainfall totals. Specifically for Patillas, the recorded rainfall amount approaches the 500-year 24-hour rainfall totals. Along the southwestern section of the island, Cabo Rojo\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds 24 hour rainfall also exceeded the 100-year return period. Across the southern municipalities of Puerto Rico, Ponce and Yauco\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds 24-hour rainfall rates exceeded the 10-year 24-hour rainfall totals, Juana Diaz exceeded the 25-year rainfall totals, and Yabucoa, along the southeast coast, exceeded the 25-year rainfall totals. The resultant flooding had considerable effects on the local population. Six fatalities were reported, three direct deaths due to drowning, and 3 indirect heart attack deaths related to stress induced flooding. An estimated 630 people in the affected areas were evacuated to shelters. In addition to structural damage caused by the flood waters, agricultural damage was sustained by coffee, plantains, and other minor crops, damage was preliminarily estimated at 23 million.

In addition to structural damage caused by the flood waters, agricultural damage was sustained by coffee, plantains, and other minor crops, damage was preliminarily estimated at 23 million. In response to the significant flooding, federal authorities issued a disaster declaration for portions of the island. During the three day period of September 21-23, 2008, parts of Puerto Rico suffered from one of the most catastrophic flooding events of the season to date. The flooding affected many municipalities island wide. The torrential rainfall resulted in severe flooding to rivers, streams, and roads, causing sinkholes, land/mudslides, and structural collapses mainly across the southern half of the island. Specifically, the heaviest rainfall, and most severe effects, occurred across the municipalities of Cabo Rojo, Guayama, Humacao, Patillas, Ponce, and Yabucoa, where in some locations, totals approaching 30 inches of rainfall fell in a three-day period, ending at 8 am Tuesday, September 23, 2008.The heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding were a direct result of a large tropical disturbance that moved slowly west across the island. On occasion, tropical disturbances may develop into tropical depressions and, upon further intensification, get named by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) as a tropical storm and/or hurricane. While the National Weather Service (NWS) in San Juan and the NHC closely monitored the system for possible organization into a named storm, multiple reconnaissance flights flown through the disturbance revealed no closed, low-level, surface circulation, which was needed to satisfy the definition of a tropical depression. It was not until 5 pm Thursday, September 25, 2008 when the system, located about 380 miles north northwest of San Juan, Puerto Rico, was named Tropical Storm Kyle. The strongest effects of the tropical disturbance were first felt in Puerto Rico on Sunday, September 21, 2008. The most intense rainfall occurred in the 24-hour period starting at 8 am Sunday, September 21, 2008 through 8 am Monday, September 22, 2008, with the highest rainfall rates occurring during the overnight hours from sunset on Sunday to sunrise on Monday. The largest rainfall amounts for the 24-hour period ending 8 am Monday, September 22, 2008 were 22.03 inches in Patillas, 20.00 inches in Guayama, 16.00 inches in Cabo Rojo, 14.83 inches in Yabucoa, and 10.81 inches in Ponce. For the combined three-day period, some of these numbers increase further with 29.83 inches in Patillas, 21.86 inches in Yabucoa, 20.52 inches in Ponce, and 17.82 inches in Cabo Rojo. Lesser, but just as significant, amounts, ranging from 5-15 inches of rain, fell across much of the island. The torrential rainfall seen across the island was immediately seen across the extensive river network in Puerto Rico. Some rivers, including the Rio Gurabo, saw water levels rise in excess of 25 feet in less than 12 hours. Parts of the island that were spared the worst of the rain include the northern and northwestern coast, were only moderate rain showers were experienced. The total rainfall amounts recorded from this event are unique in that the 29.83 inches seen in Patillas exceeds the weekly total rainfall of 27.13 inches measured in Juana Diaz during the October 1985 flood event. The 24-hour rainfall totals ending at 8 am Monday, September 22, 2008, which encompassed parts of the southeastern section of the island, including the municipalities of Patillas and Guayama, exceeded 200-year 24-hour rainfall totals. Specifically for Patillas, the recorded rainfall amount approaches the 500-year 24-hour rainfall totals. Along the southwestern section of the island, Cabo Rojo\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds 24 hour rainfall also exceeded the 100-year return period. Across the southern municipalities of Puerto Rico, Ponce and Yauco\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds 24-hour rainfall rates exceeded the 10-year 24-hour rainfall totals, Juana Diaz exceeded the 25-year rainfall totals, and Yabucoa, along the southeast coast, exceeded the 25-year rainfall totals.

Lesser, but just as significant, amounts, ranging from 5-15 inches of rain, fell across much of the island. The torrential rainfall seen across the island was immediately seen across the extensive river network in Puerto Rico. Some rivers, including the Rio Gurabo, saw water levels rise in excess of 25 feet in less than 12 hours. Parts of the island that were spared the worst of the rain include the northern and northwestern coast, were only moderate rain showers were experienced. The total rainfall amounts recorded from this event are unique in that the 29.83 inches seen in Patillas exceeds the weekly total rainfall of 27.13 inches measured in Juana Diaz during the October 1985 flood event. The 24-hour rainfall totals ending at 8 am Monday, September 22, 2008, which encompassed parts of the southeastern section of the island, including the municipalities of Patillas and Guayama, exceeded 200-year 24-hour rainfall totals. Specifically for Patillas, the recorded rainfall amount approaches the 500-year 24-hour rainfall totals. Along the southwestern section of the island, Cabo Rojo\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds 24 hour rainfall also exceeded the 100-year return period. Across the southern municipalities of Puerto Rico, Ponce and Yauco\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds 24-hour rainfall rates exceeded the 10-year 24-hour rainfall totals, Juana Diaz exceeded the 25-year rainfall totals, and Yabucoa, along the southeast coast, exceeded the 25-year rainfall totals. The resultant flooding had considerable effects on the local population. Six fatalities were reported, three direct deaths due to drowning, and 3 indirect heart attack deaths related to stress induced flooding. An estimated 630 people in the affected areas were evacuated to shelters. In addition to structural damage caused by the flood waters, agricultural damage was sustained by coffee, plantains, and other minor crops, damage was preliminarily estimated at 23 million. In response to the significant flooding, federal authorities issued a disaster declaration for portions of the island. During the three day period of September 21-23, 2008, parts of Puerto Rico suffered from one of the most catastrophic flooding events of the season to date. The flooding affected many municipalities island wide. The torrential rainfall resulted in severe flooding to rivers, streams, and roads, causing sinkholes, land/mudslides, and structural collapses mainly across the southern half of the island. Specifically, the heaviest rainfall, and most severe effects, occurred across the municipalities of Cabo Rojo, Guayama, Humacao, Patillas, Ponce, and Yabucoa, where in some locations, totals approaching 30 inches of rainfall fell in a three-day period, ending at 8 am Tuesday, September 23, 2008.The heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding were a direct result of a large tropical disturbance that moved slowly west across the island. On occasion, tropical disturbances may develop into tropical depressions and, upon further intensification, get named by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) as a tropical storm and/or hurricane. While the National Weather Service (NWS) in San Juan and the NHC closely monitored the system for possible organization into a named storm, multiple reconnaissance flights flown through the disturbance revealed no closed, low-level, surface circulation, which was needed to satisfy the definition of a tropical depression. It was not until 5 pm Thursday, September 25, 2008 when the system, located about 380 miles north northwest of San Juan, Puerto Rico, was named Tropical Storm Kyle. The strongest effects of the tropical disturbance were first felt in Puerto Rico on Sunday, September 21, 2008. The most intense rainfall occurred in the 24-hour period starting at 8 am Sunday, September 21, 2008 through 8 am Monday, September 22, 2008, with the highest rainfall rates occurring during the overnight hours from sunset on Sunday to sunrise on Monday.

The torrential rainfall resulted in severe flooding to rivers, streams, and roads, causing sinkholes, land/mudslides, and structural collapses mainly across the southern half of the island. Specifically, the heaviest rainfall, and most severe effects, occurred across the municipalities of Cabo Rojo, Guayama, Humacao, Patillas, Ponce, and Yabucoa, where in some locations, totals approaching 30 inches of rainfall fell in a three-day period, ending at 8 am Tuesday, September 23, 2008.The heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding were a direct result of a large tropical disturbance that moved slowly west across the island. On occasion, tropical disturbances may develop into tropical depressions and, upon further intensification, get named by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) as a tropical storm and/or hurricane. While the National Weather Service (NWS) in San Juan and the NHC closely monitored the system for possible organization into a named storm, multiple reconnaissance flights flown through the disturbance revealed no closed, low-level, surface circulation, which was needed to satisfy the definition of a tropical depression. It was not until 5 pm Thursday, September 25, 2008 when the system, located about 380 miles north northwest of San Juan, Puerto Rico, was named Tropical Storm Kyle. The strongest effects of the tropical disturbance were first felt in Puerto Rico on Sunday, September 21, 2008. The most intense rainfall occurred in the 24-hour period starting at 8 am Sunday, September 21, 2008 through 8 am Monday, September 22, 2008, with the highest rainfall rates occurring during the overnight hours from sunset on Sunday to sunrise on Monday. The largest rainfall amounts for the 24-hour period ending 8 am Monday, September 22, 2008 were 22.03 inches in Patillas, 20.00 inches in Guayama, 16.00 inches in Cabo Rojo, 14.83 inches in Yabucoa, and 10.81 inches in Ponce. For the combined three-day period, some of these numbers increase further with 29.83 inches in Patillas, 21.86 inches in Yabucoa, 20.52 inches in Ponce, and 17.82 inches in Cabo Rojo. Lesser, but just as significant, amounts, ranging from 5-15 inches of rain, fell across much of the island. The torrential rainfall seen across the island was immediately seen across the extensive river network in Puerto Rico. Some rivers, including the Rio Gurabo, saw water levels rise in excess of 25 feet in less than 12 hours. Parts of the island that were spared the worst of the rain include the northern and northwestern coast, were only moderate rain showers were experienced. The total rainfall amounts recorded from this event are unique in that the 29.83 inches seen in Patillas exceeds the weekly total rainfall of 27.13 inches measured in Juana Diaz during the October 1985 flood event. The 24-hour rainfall totals ending at 8 am Monday, September 22, 2008, which encompassed parts of the southeastern section of the island, including the municipalities of Patillas and Guayama, exceeded 200-year 24-hour rainfall totals. Specifically for Patillas, the recorded rainfall amount approaches the 500-year 24-hour rainfall totals. Along the southwestern section of the island, Cabo Rojo\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds 24 hour rainfall also exceeded the 100-year return period. Across the southern municipalities of Puerto Rico, Ponce and Yauco\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds 24-hour rainfall rates exceeded the 10-year 24-hour rainfall totals, Juana Diaz exceeded the 25-year rainfall totals, and Yabucoa, along the southeast coast, exceeded the 25-year rainfall totals. The resultant flooding had considerable effects on the local population. Six fatalities were reported, three direct deaths due to drowning, and 3 indirect heart attack deaths related to stress induced flooding. An estimated 630 people in the affected areas were evacuated to shelters. In addition to structural damage caused by the flood waters, agricultural damage was sustained by coffee, plantains, and other minor crops, damage was preliminarily estimated at 23 million. In response to the significant flooding, federal authorities issued a disaster declaration for portions of the island.\nEvent Narrative: Flooding was reported along route 66, Villa Fontana, Valle Arriba Heights, La Marina at Los Angeles, Country Club, and Vista Mar in Carolina.

The system moved northwest until reaching the southern Cape Verde Islands, then turned westward out into the open Atlantic. The system was upgraded to a tropical depression on August 11th, but easterly vertical wind shear kept the system from strengthening, and led to a reduction of thunderstorm activity which devolved the system into a remnant low pressure area on the 13th. By the 14th, the system redeveloped thunderstorm activity and redeveloped into a tropical depression, which strengthened into a tropical storm early on the 15th well to the east of the Lesser Antilles. Late on the 15th, a tropical storm watch was issued for the U.S. Virgin Islands, when the system was located about 910 miles east southeast of Saint Croix. At 5 am on the 16th, the tropical storm watch was extended to Puerto Rico, when the system was located about 850 miles southeast of San Juan. Soon afterwards, vertical wind shear from the west began to displace thunderstorms east and northeast of the center, beginning Ana's weakening trend. Also, the high pressure system steering Ana caused the system to accelerate westward. The weakening tropical storm Ana crossed the Lesser Antilles, and was downgraded to a tropical depression on the 16th at 5 pm, when it was located about 440 miles east southeast of Saint Croix. In spite of this, the tropical storm watch was kept in effect in case of any unexpected changes. Ana's local effects were mainly periods of heavy rain, gusty winds and cloud to ground lightning. Urban flooding, fallen trees, downed power poles and lines, rock slides, and power and water utility interruptions in several places. During the day on the 17th, aircraft reconnaissance determined that the system had dissipated southwest of Puerto Rico, as it no longer had a low-level circulation. At 5 pm, on the 17th, the tropical storm watch was discontinued for the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

Weather conditions improved during the evening of Monday July 19, but by early morning July 20th, additional showers and thunderstorms resulted in flooding across much of the eastern half of Puerto Rico. Although by Tuesday morning July 20 the tropical wave axis had moved into Hispaniola, the wave itself was maintaining a broad area of disturbed weather, aided in part by an upper level low pressure system just north northwest of the local area. As a result, Tuesday July 20 was another very active weather day, with heavy rains persisting across the eastern half of Puerto Rico and additional shower and thunderstorm formation across the southwestern sections of Puerto Rico. On Wednesday July 21, local effects combined with available moisture behind the initial tropical wave to generate additional showers and thunderstorms across the eastern and northern sections of Puerto Rico.

By late Thursday July 22, the islands were still dealing with the effects of several days of widespread rainfall. Even though this tropical disturbance, which later became Tropical Storm Bonnie, was now located over eastern Cuba, it was still able to generate another band of moisture which brought additional areas of rainfall across Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Even though this tropical disturbance, which later became Tropical Storm Bonnie, was now located over eastern Cuba, it was still able to generate another band of moisture which brought additional areas of rainfall across Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. USGS rain sensor at NSSR/Ceiba 3SE recorded 9.03 inches for the 24 hour period ending on July 20th, followed by Rio Grande de Loiza/San Lorenzo which recorded 7.31 inches. An active tropical wave moved across Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands on Monday July 19, generating numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms, some with very heavy rain. Weather conditions improved during the evening of Monday July 19, but by early morning July 20th, additional showers and thunderstorms resulted in flooding across much of the eastern half of Puerto Rico. Although by Tuesday morning July 20 the tropical wave axis had moved into Hispaniola, the wave itself was maintaining a broad area of disturbed weather, aided in part by an upper level low pressure system just north northwest of the local area. As a result, Tuesday July 20 was another very active weather day, with heavy rains persisting across the eastern half of Puerto Rico and additional shower and thunderstorm formation across the southwestern sections of Puerto Rico. On Wednesday July 21, local effects combined with available moisture behind the initial tropical wave to generate additional showers and thunderstorms across the eastern and northern sections of Puerto Rico.

A tropical storm warning was then issued for Puerto Rico, Vieques and Culebra, and a tropical storm watch was issued for the U.S. Virgin Islands||Tropical Storm Emily passed near 120 miles south of Ponce during the morning of August 3rd. Outer rain bands associated with the storm produced numerous showers with strong gusty winds across Puerto Rico. The highest wind gust directly recorded was 48 mph at 400 am AST on August 3 (0800 UTC) at the La Parguera Lajas, as Emily was near its closest point to the island.The most affected areas were the southeast and southwest sections of Puerto Rico were 6-10 inches of rain were reported. The heavy rainfall resulted in many mud slides across Puerto Rico, especially where the heaviest rain occurred. Mud slides were reported to block or partially block roads in the eastern municipalities of Canovanas, Fajardo, Ceiba, Naguabo, Las Piedras, Yabucoa, Juncos, Caguas, San Lorenzo, Guayama, Patillas, while the La Plata River flooded portions of Dorado and Toa Baja. Also, trees were blown down in Humacao and Luquillo. Over the western portion of the island flooded roads occurred in Cabo Rojo, Hormigueros, Lajas, Maricao, and Yauco, and a few mud slides also occurred. Trees were reported blown over in San German, Adjuntas, and Utuado. Tropical Storm Emily developed of a broad rotation tropical wave that moved off of the African coast early in the week of July 24, 2011 and gradually traveled across the tropical Atlantic Ocean.

The events resulted in 0 injuries and 1 fatalities. No significant property or crop damage was reported. \n\nEpisode Narrative: Irene was a quite large and impressive tropical wave during most of its journey across the Atlantic Ocean during the week of August 14-20, 2011. For most of this time the wave was nearly surrounded by dry air and with enough vertical wind shear to ensure that any intensification would be slow. Its forward speed of 20 mph somewhat aided the shear in keeping it weak. Irene made landfall over mainland Puerto Rico at 125 am AST on August 22, near Punta Santiago then Luis Munoz Marin International Airport at San Juan recorded its highest wind gust of 59 mph at 218 am AST. At 300 am AST (0700 UTC) the center was estimated to be 10 miles southwest of San Juan with 70 mph sustained winds, mainly over the Atlantic waters north of the city.||By 500 am AST doppler radar had indicated winds sustained up to 72 knots (83 mph) only 500 to 600 feet above the water. Irene was then officially upgraded to a hurricane though a hurricane warning had already been issued for the region. With the hurricane center moving offshore about this time the strongest winds (north of the center) also moved away from shore. At 536 am AST the buoy near Arecibo recorded its highest wind gust of 37 knots (43 mph). At 900 am AST the center of Irene was directly north of the west coast of Puerto Rico but the hurricane force winds were well offshore with an obviously developing eye on radar.||Puerto Rico was under the effects of Tropical Cyclone Irene from early Sunday August 22 through late Wednesday August 24. Irene made landfall as a tropical storm during the early morning hours of Monday August 22, intensified overland and became a hurricane over northern Puerto Rico around 500 am Monday, before exiting into the Atlantic later that morning. Irene\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds most siginificant impact was the heavy rainfall. The first rainbands entered eastern Puerto Rico early on Sunday and persisted through midnight on Wednesday, although additional rainfall was received across some of the east municipalities through Thursday morning August 25. Locations like Gurabo across eastern interior Puerto Rico experienced significant 48 hour rainfall accumulations, with an estimated return period of around 50 years.||Shortly after Irene\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds center passed by San Juan on August 22 there were 800,000 homes without electric power and 118,000 without water service. The storm surge from Irene, as expected, was very minor. The highest surges measured were at Esperanza (Vieques) and Fajardo and reached 1.6 feet between 100 am and 200 am (0506z and 0530z respectively). This was during the time that the center of Irene was moving inland over Eastern Puerto Rico.||Damage from flooding was extensive across the region from Irene, however, though wind caused widespread damage it was relatively minor compared to a more significant hurricane. Numerous trees were blown down very early on Monday morning from Fajardo to San Juan Metro. Downed trees were reported to block highways in Gurabo, Adjuntas, Caguas while a down power pole lay on Highway PR-176 in Cupey.||On August 27 Puerto Rico had been declared a major disaster area, and by September 3 additional municipalities were added to provide aid to those impacted, and still more on September 13. In all, there were 29 municipalities approved for individual assistance to individuals and households while 37 municipalities were designated for public assistance to state and local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations for emergency work and the repair or replacement of disaster-damaged facilities.

Downed trees were reported to block highways in Gurabo, Adjuntas, Caguas while a down power pole lay on Highway PR-176 in Cupey.||On August 27 Puerto Rico had been declared a major disaster area, and by September 3 additional municipalities were added to provide aid to those impacted, and still more on September 13. In all, there were 29 municipalities approved for individual assistance to individuals and households while 37 municipalities were designated for public assistance to state and local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations for emergency work and the repair or replacement of disaster-damaged facilities. Irene was a quite large and impressive tropical wave during most of its journey across the Atlantic Ocean during the week of August 14-20, 2011. For most of this time the wave was nearly surrounded by dry air and with enough vertical wind shear to ensure that any intensification would be slow. Its forward speed of 20 mph somewhat aided the shear in keeping it weak. Irene made landfall over mainland Puerto Rico at 125 am AST on August 22, near Punta Santiago then Luis Munoz Marin International Airport at San Juan recorded its highest wind gust of 59 mph at 218 am AST. At 300 am AST (0700 UTC) the center was estimated to be 10 miles southwest of San Juan with 70 mph sustained winds, mainly over the Atlantic waters north of the city.||By 500 am AST doppler radar had indicated winds sustained up to 72 knots (83 mph) only 500 to 600 feet above the water. Irene was then officially upgraded to a hurricane though a hurricane warning had already been issued for the region. With the hurricane center moving offshore about this time the strongest winds (north of the center) also moved away from shore. At 536 am AST the buoy near Arecibo recorded its highest wind gust of 37 knots (43 mph). At 900 am AST the center of Irene was directly north of the west coast of Puerto Rico but the hurricane force winds were well offshore with an obviously developing eye on radar.||Puerto Rico was under the effects of Tropical Cyclone Irene from early Sunday August 22 through late Wednesday August 24. Irene made landfall as a tropical storm during the early morning hours of Monday August 22, intensified overland and became a hurricane over northern Puerto Rico around 500 am Monday, before exiting into the Atlantic later that morning. Irene\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds most siginificant impact was the heavy rainfall. The first rainbands entered eastern Puerto Rico early on Sunday and persisted through midnight on Wednesday, although additional rainfall was received across some of the east municipalities through Thursday morning August 25. Locations like Gurabo across eastern interior Puerto Rico experienced significant 48 hour rainfall accumulations, with an estimated return period of around 50 years.||Shortly after Irene\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds center passed by San Juan on August 22 there were 800,000 homes without electric power and 118,000 without water service. The storm surge from Irene, as expected, was very minor.

Locations like Gurabo across eastern interior Puerto Rico experienced significant 48 hour rainfall accumulations, with an estimated return period of around 50 years.||Shortly after Irene\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds center passed by San Juan on August 22 there were 800,000 homes without electric power and 118,000 without water service. The storm surge from Irene, as expected, was very minor. The highest surges measured were at Esperanza (Vieques) and Fajardo and reached 1.6 feet between 100 am and 200 am (0506z and 0530z respectively). This was during the time that the center of Irene was moving inland over Eastern Puerto Rico.||Damage from flooding was extensive across the region from Irene, however, though wind caused widespread damage it was relatively minor compared to a more significant hurricane. Numerous trees were blown down very early on Monday morning from Fajardo to San Juan Metro. Downed trees were reported to block highways in Gurabo, Adjuntas, Caguas while a down power pole lay on Highway PR-176 in Cupey.||On August 27 Puerto Rico had been declared a major disaster area, and by September 3 additional municipalities were added to provide aid to those impacted, and still more on September 13. In all, there were 29 municipalities approved for individual assistance to individuals and households while 37 municipalities were designated for public assistance to state and local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations for emergency work and the repair or replacement of disaster-damaged facilities. Irene was a quite large and impressive tropical wave during most of its journey across the Atlantic Ocean during the week of August 14-20, 2011. For most of this time the wave was nearly surrounded by dry air and with enough vertical wind shear to ensure that any intensification would be slow. Its forward speed of 20 mph somewhat aided the shear in keeping it weak. Irene made landfall over mainland Puerto Rico at 125 am AST on August 22, near Punta Santiago then Luis Munoz Marin International Airport at San Juan recorded its highest wind gust of 59 mph at 218 am AST. At 300 am AST (0700 UTC) the center was estimated to be 10 miles southwest of San Juan with 70 mph sustained winds, mainly over the Atlantic waters north of the city.||By 500 am AST doppler radar had indicated winds sustained up to 72 knots (83 mph) only 500 to 600 feet above the water. Irene was then officially upgraded to a hurricane though a hurricane warning had already been issued for the region. With the hurricane center moving offshore about this time the strongest winds (north of the center) also moved away from shore. At 536 am AST the buoy near Arecibo recorded its highest wind gust of 37 knots (43 mph). At 900 am AST the center of Irene was directly north of the west coast of Puerto Rico but the hurricane force winds were well offshore with an obviously developing eye on radar.||Puerto Rico was under the effects of Tropical Cyclone Irene from early Sunday August 22 through late Wednesday August 24. Irene made landfall as a tropical storm during the early morning hours of Monday August 22, intensified overland and became a hurricane over northern Puerto Rico around 500 am Monday, before exiting into the Atlantic later that morning.

Rio Maunabo was reported out of its banks flooding road 759 and Barrio Tumbao, La Garona sector. Families were relocated from their homes due to flooding. A 72 year old women was relocated from her home at Georgetti street in the urban area of Comerio due to flooding. A 62 year old woman in her vehicle was overtaken by flood waters as she attempted to drive across a flooded roadway PR-857 in Barrio Canovanillas, Cohitre sector. The women was rescued by citizens and taken to a local hospital where she later died. A creek was reported out of its banks flooding road 155, Los Sandovales sector. A couple of residents were trapped in their homes. The La Plata river USGS sensor in Aibonito indicated flood stage of 14.45 feet. Rio Fajardo was reported out of its banks flooding road PR-3 with the intersection with highway PR-53. Roberto Clemente avenue was reported flooded near Autoridad Acueductos. Flooding was reported at road PR-3 near Luquillo Kiosks. Rio Cibuco was reported out of its banks at Fatima sector. A car was stranded At PR-53 due to Rio Fajardo out of its banks. The person inside the car was rescued. PR-620 in Barrio Fatima, PR-647 at barrio Ojo de Agua and PR-675 and PR-676 at Barrio Bajuras were reported flooded due to Rio Cibuco out of its banks.

The San Jose lagoon overflowed its banks near Villa Isla Verde apartments.", "The following events were reported: Flash Flood, Flood, Heavy Rain. These occurred near station RQC00668814, approximately 40.2767 km away, between 2011-09-12 16:00:00 and 2011-09-13 17:45:00. The flood was caused by Heavy Rain. Thankfully, no injuries or fatalities were reported. The events caused property damage valued at 1060000.0 and crop damage of 0.0. \n\nEpisode Narrative: Maria was first designated Tropical Depression 14 on September 6 in the far eastern Atlantic. By the following day the depression was upgraded and named Tropical Storm Maria at 1100 am AST, the 13th named storm of the season, while it was moving rapidly westward. At 11 pm AST on Thursday September 8 a tropical storm watch was issued for the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. At 5 am AST September 9 a tropical storm warning was issued for the U.S. Virgin Islands, and at 11 am the warning was extended for Puerto Rico. Maximum winds in Maria remained between 40 mph and 50 mph for several days. On Sunday, September 11, an air force reconnaissance aircraft reported that it was becoming better organized, just 65 mi northeast of Saint John Island. The U.S. Virgin Islands experienced breezy to windy conditions for 3 days while Maria was not far away, but not to a level of causing significant damage. The maximum winds recorded at locations where at least 25 mph. Rather than the large scale strong winds usually found in tropical storms the most intense wind on these islands often occurred during rain squalls, when showers force winds aloft to sink towards the surface. This caused the strongest sustained wind recorded during this event. The Saint Thomas airport recorded a maximum sustained southerly wind of 33 mph with gusts to 48 mph at 1 pm AST on September 12th, the rest of the recorded winds across the U.S. Virgin Islands were of lesser strength. On September 12 bands of heavy showers were developing in the moist \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdtail\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd of Maria, focusing mainly on the U.S. Virgin Islands. The slow movement of Maria, the moist tail being dragged along towards the south, and the mountain terrain of across Puerto Rico would prove to be a fateful combination, especially on the night of the 12th and morning of the 13th. Puerto Rico had devastating flooding rain for the third time in 6 weeks, following Tropical Storm Emily and Tropical Storm/Hurricane Irene, and after the extraordinarily rainy summer of 2011. Early on September 13 Maria was located north of the west end of Puerto Rico. There were developing rain bands that extended west to east, up the central mountain range in Puerto Rico, and also on the south side of the Luquillo Mountains at the eastern portion of the island. Most soils across Puerto Rico were already saturated from an extraordinarily wet summer including rain from two other tropical storms in the previous 6 weeks. Rain became the major problem as Maria became almost stationary on September 13. Rainfall accumulations were between 4 to 6 inches with locally higher amounts of up to 10 inches. The hardest hit communities were on the southern slopes of Puerto Rico including the communities along the larger rivers with headwaters in the south and south central sections of the island. Larger river basins such as the Rio de la Plata, Rio Grande de Loiza, Rio Grande de Arecibo and Rio Grande de Manati and their tributaries showed significant rises with minor to moderate flooding reported. The smaller basins along the southern slopes experienced flash flooding with the high intensity rainfall. Residents in the communities of Juana Diaz, Salinas and Ponce experienced some of the highest flows of the past few years especially on Rivers Toa Vaca and Jacaguas. The tropical storm warning for the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico was discontinued at 11 am AST on September 10. Around 15,600 residents were without commercial power.

The tropical storm warning for the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico was discontinued at 11 am AST on September 10. Around 15,600 residents were without commercial power. Maria was first designated Tropical Depression 14 on September 6 in the far eastern Atlantic. By the following day the depression was upgraded and named Tropical Storm Maria at 1100 am AST, the 13th named storm of the season, while it was moving rapidly westward. At 11 pm AST on Thursday September 8 a tropical storm watch was issued for the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. At 5 am AST September 9 a tropical storm warning was issued for the U.S. Virgin Islands, and at 11 am the warning was extended for Puerto Rico. Maximum winds in Maria remained between 40 mph and 50 mph for several days. On Sunday, September 11, an air force reconnaissance aircraft reported that it was becoming better organized, just 65 mi northeast of Saint John Island. The U.S. Virgin Islands experienced breezy to windy conditions for 3 days while Maria was not far away, but not to a level of causing significant damage. The maximum winds recorded at locations where at least 25 mph. Rather than the large scale strong winds usually found in tropical storms the most intense wind on these islands often occurred during rain squalls, when showers force winds aloft to sink towards the surface. This caused the strongest sustained wind recorded during this event. The Saint Thomas airport recorded a maximum sustained southerly wind of 33 mph with gusts to 48 mph at 1 pm AST on September 12th, the rest of the recorded winds across the U.S. Virgin Islands were of lesser strength. On September 12 bands of heavy showers were developing in the moist \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdtail\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd of Maria, focusing mainly on the U.S. Virgin Islands. The slow movement of Maria, the moist tail being dragged along towards the south, and the mountain terrain of across Puerto Rico would prove to be a fateful combination, especially on the night of the 12th and morning of the 13th. Puerto Rico had devastating flooding rain for the third time in 6 weeks, following Tropical Storm Emily and Tropical Storm/Hurricane Irene, and after the extraordinarily rainy summer of 2011. Early on September 13 Maria was located north of the west end of Puerto Rico. There were developing rain bands that extended west to east, up the central mountain range in Puerto Rico, and also on the south side of the Luquillo Mountains at the eastern portion of the island. Most soils across Puerto Rico were already saturated from an extraordinarily wet summer including rain from two other tropical storms in the previous 6 weeks. Rain became the major problem as Maria became almost stationary on September 13. Rainfall accumulations were between 4 to 6 inches with locally higher amounts of up to 10 inches. The hardest hit communities were on the southern slopes of Puerto Rico including the communities along the larger rivers with headwaters in the south and south central sections of the island. Larger river basins such as the Rio de la Plata, Rio Grande de Loiza, Rio Grande de Arecibo and Rio Grande de Manati and their tributaries showed significant rises with minor to moderate flooding reported.

Maximum sustained winds of 175 mph as it was approaching the county warning area. The direction was towards the west northwest with the eye clipping Saint Croix and Vieques. The hurricane then made landfall in the municipality of Yabucoa in mainland PR at 6:15 am AST with maximum sustained winds of 155 mph. The center of the storm traversed diagonally through mainland Puerto Rico exiting across the northwest municipalities in the early afternoon hours. Extreme winds were observed across most of mainland Puerto Rico, Vieques, and Saint Croix with catastrophic flooding observed across many areas in mainland Puerto Rico.||During a preliminary survey of areas along the path of Hurricane Maria\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds center, it was evident that catastrophic damage had occurred. Maria\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds strong winds spread large amounts of debris across the entire area. All full trees were defoliated, and those that were not, were snapped or uprooted by Maria\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds strong winds and lost medium to large branches. During the interview process, stories and images were particularly similar. Numerous locals reported that they felt the ground and their houses shaking, while most were amazed by the force of the unprecedented strong winds that not only transformed their surroundings but also their lives. Although most structures across the island are built using concrete as the main material, countless homes and buildings sustained some type of structural damage. If not blown off, non-concrete roofs suffered some type of damage. Nearly all commercial signs, fences, and canopies were destroyed, including large digital high definition boards. The last time that Puerto Rico experienced a category 4 or stronger hurricane was back on 1928 with Hurricane San Felipe II. Maria was the strongest hurricane to make landfall in mainland Puerto Rico since Hurricane Felipe II in 1928, a category 5 storm. |The NOAA estimate of damage in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands due to Maria is 90 billion dollars.||Death toll from hurricane Maria at the moment of this report is highly uncertain. The official number stands at 65 deaths. 20 of these deaths occurred during the hurricane. The other 45 deaths occurred in the aftermath of the hurricane. From these 45 deaths, there were four (4) people which died due to heart attack, three (3) due to lack of respiratory aid and three more (3) people due to lack of medical supplies.

Hurricane Maria was a catastrophic category 4 hurricane which devastated the island of Puerto Rico on September 20, 2017. Maximum sustained winds of 175 mph as it was approaching the county warning area. The direction was towards the west northwest with the eye clipping Saint Croix and Vieques. The hurricane then made landfall in the municipality of Yabucoa in mainland PR at 6:15 am AST with maximum sustained winds of 155 mph. The center of the storm traversed diagonally through mainland Puerto Rico exiting across the northwest municipalities in the early afternoon hours. Extreme winds were observed across most of mainland Puerto Rico, Vieques, and Saint Croix with catastrophic flooding observed across many areas in mainland Puerto Rico.||During a preliminary survey of areas along the path of Hurricane Maria\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds center, it was evident that catastrophic damage had occurred. Maria\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds strong winds spread large amounts of debris across the entire area. All full trees were defoliated, and those that were not, were snapped or uprooted by Maria\ufffd\ufffd\ufffds strong winds and lost medium to large branches. During the interview process, stories and images were particularly similar. Numerous locals reported that they felt the ground and their houses shaking, while most were amazed by the force of the unprecedented strong winds that not only transformed their surroundings but also their lives. Although most structures across the island are built using concrete as the main material, countless homes and buildings sustained some type of structural damage. If not blown off, non-concrete roofs suffered some type of damage. Nearly all commercial signs, fences, and canopies were destroyed, including large digital high definition boards. The last time that Puerto Rico experienced a category 4 or stronger hurricane was back on 1928 with Hurricane San Felipe II. Maria was the strongest hurricane to make landfall in mainland Puerto Rico since Hurricane Felipe II in 1928, a category 5 storm. |The NOAA estimate of damage in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands due to Maria is 90 billion dollars.||Death toll from hurricane Maria at the moment of this report is highly uncertain. The official number stands at 65 deaths. 20 of these deaths occurred during the hurricane. The other 45 deaths occurred in the aftermath of the hurricane. From these 45 deaths, there were four (4) people which died due to heart attack, three (3) due to lack of respiratory aid and three more (3) people due to lack of medical supplies.
