| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | On August 14, 2008, a strong tropical wave and its associated low pressure moved across the northeast Caribbean, passing westward across the U. S. Virgin Islands during the late afternoon and early evening hours, and then across Puerto Rico during the overnight and morning hours of August 15, 2008. Some of the outer rain bands ahead of the wave reached into Puerto Rico but they were sort of scattered. It was not until the late evening and after midnight that the heavy showers and thunderstorms moved into Puerto Rico. Overnight radar estimates indicated 2 to 3 inches in the municipalities of Ceiba, Fajardo, and Naguabo, with estimates of 2 to 4 inches between Cayey and Salinas. USGS gages indicated the highest 24 hour rainfall accumulation of around 4 inches at Rio Portuguez Ponce below the damsite, ending at 145 pm Friday. A few small isolated areas along the extreme southern coast of Puerto Rico were estimated by the Doppler radar to have received 6-7 inches during the overnight hours. About 15 roads were reported flooded and one closed to traffic due to river Rio Loco overflowing its banks in Yauco municipality. Some downed tree limbs were reported. 11 thousand customers were without electric power and 5 thousand without water. Small landslides were reported over the central interior in Utuado. About 13 local flights to nearby islands were canceled. For most of the residents, this tropical wave was extremely beneficial. Puerto Rico, Culebra, Vieques, were very dry, with one of the driest summers recorded on record through the beginning of August. As this system exited Puerto Rico and moved across the Mona Passage on the afternoon of the 15th, this area of disturbed weather became Tropical Storm Fay. |
