Unforgettable. In Santa Isabel, the flodding swept away the PR-52 highway bridge around Paso Seco. It was nightime and poorly lit. Many cars fell into the river. Their occupants never found. By the time that tropical wave came (and remain stationary) it had been raining for the majority of September. But because it wasn't a hurricane or a tropical storm, most people were unpreparred for what came after.
@coquireport I was a little boy when that tragedy strike, we heard that explosion, we lived miles away, Comunidad Los Muros la Cantera, my father took rain gear and started helping people from el Yeso, that river also went off of their banks. A lot of people went missing, Mexican came to rescue as well, we are forever grateful.
You HAVE to do the 1996 Rio Piedras explosion. It was my birthday you know? Worst day ever and unforgettable. Waking up happy to another year of life, coffee and hopeful on future plans, then you turn on the TV for morning news as usual and you see the devastation. EVERYONE talking about it. Horrible day for the island. You could feel the sadness everywhere. You're narration would be amazing❤
Man I remember that tragedy like if it was yesterday! I was working in Chicago at the time when I heard the devastating news! May god rest their souls.🙏🕊️🥹
Omg! My family in Ponce was exposed to this. We almost lost my uncle's that lived in the area. Thank God their lives were spared but they lost everything. :( Thank you for sharing this history. 🇵🇷
Gracias a Dios que Sali de ahi cuando tenia 15 anos, ahora tengo 67, es una lastima las demas personas que no sobrevivieron , que en Paz descansen, Amen
Ohhhh yes this was horrible😢. Coquí, this deserves a second part. Before it happened, can't say how far before, in the school a teacher had drawing time. Headstart kids ALL drew similar pictures! A mountain falling, family members with wings, they drew dead people around a mountain my gosh! Pictures and pictures of sadness. The teacher was like, "what's going on?". The drawings were taken like just the kids imagination. During memorial services the drawings were shown. I mean the kids knew or felt,(i mean who knows?) that something bad was going to happen. It was a very uncanny situation. I'm sure you can find information on this.

@JoseHernandez-rg5sr Yeah I heard it sounded like an huge explosion..
I was 15 when this happened. I was living in the Metro area, but I remember seeing the news on TV and newspapers with horror.

You forgot about the kids who made the drawings in school that predicted this tragic event!!! I remember and visited the area days after.
@Knifeinyolife I didn't forget it..It just wasn't part of the video..The video was focused on the tragedy itself..
My uncles family died in that mudslide
@Puertogeekn So sorry to hear about your uncle's family...
