Rains and the flooding turn tragic in Puerto Rico

#1 Postby cycloneye » Sun May 23, 2004 4:21 pm

Bad news this afternoon as a man was driven by the rough currents of a river and he has not been seen and authoritys presume him dead.Also 66 families haved been relocated at shelters because their homes were flooded.Many avenues and expressways are flooded. In San Juan only so far this sunday as of 3:00 PM EDT over 4.00 inches of rain haved falled today and flash flood warnings haved been issued for the San Juan Metro area and also for Carolina and Loiza.I hope that the broad low pressure goes more north of the greater antilles then the tropical wave moving west located at the eastern caribbean dont have the interaction that may cause more widespread rains.Remember all of this rain today is on top of 3 weeks of rains and the grounds are oversaturated.

Too bad, but I think you should be expecting similar situation as rain continues to fall in Puerto Rico.

I'm so sorry to hear that
I hope PR does not get much more rain.
we've had a lot of rain here but no deluges and no flooding..just rain that will thankfully fill our dry cisterns.

Sorry to hear that, Luis.

As I mentioned before, we in Barbados have been having quite a lot of rain (it's raining now, as a matter of fact) but nothing along the magnitude that Puerto Rico's experiencing.

Stay safe.
