A fresh east-southeast wind flow created choppy seas along the local waters. This triggered moderate rip current risk along the north-facing beaches of Puerto Rico.
Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
The episode as NWS SJU wrote it up.
A fresh east-southeast wind flow created choppy seas along the local waters. This triggered moderate rip current risk along the north-facing beaches of Puerto Rico.
1 rip current. Local standard time, as filed.
A 29-year-old male apparently was swept away by the rip currents in a beach behind Ashford Hospital in Condado. The individual was in regular clothing and carrying his wallet when found in the water.
As the offices recorded each death: direct deaths were caused by the weather itself, indirect ones by something it set in motion.
