What happened
The episode as NWS SJU wrote it up.
As tropical Storm Hanna was located over 200 miles north of Puerto Rico, the extreme outer bands of moisture affected the local area. The storm circulation also induced a west to southwest low level flow. Persistent bands of showers and a few thunderstorms moved northeastward across the U.S. Virgin Islands into Hanna's circulation causing periods of heavy rains. An NWS volunteer observer reported a 24 hour rainfall of 1.7 inches along the west part of Saint Croix.
