List of Puerto Rico hurricanes (2000–present)
Appearance
The list of Puerto Rico hurricanes from the 21st century has been marked by several devastating North Atlantic hurricanes, tropical or subtropical cyclones, their remnants, or their precursors have affected the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico. Every year included has at least one tropical cyclone affecting the territory.
The strongest hurricane to hit the territory during the time period was Hurricane Maria, which was a Category 4, on the Saffir–Simpson scale, the second-highest category on the scale. Maria was the strongest hurricane to strike the territory since 1928 Okeechobee hurricane.
2000
[edit]- August 23 – Hurricane Debby dropped up to 12 inches (30.5 mm) of rainfall across Puerto Rico in less than 48 hours, causing mudslides and damage to bridges and roads. There were 406 homes affected from the flooding, 5 of which were moderate to severely damaged. Losses in Puerto Rico reached $501,000, primarily in the Caguas municipality.[1][2] The storm was also indirectly responsible for the death of a 78-year-old man who fell while trying to remove a satellite dish from the roof of his home.[3]
- September 17–18 – The wave to Tropical Storm Helene passed to the south of Puerto Rico on September 17 and 18. Across the southern and eastern portion of the island, the system produced 6 to 12 in (150 to 300 mm) of rainfall, which resulted in flash flooding and mudslides. One house was destroyed and more than 100 houses were affected in Ponce, forcing several families to evacuate. The flooding also destroyed a bridge in Guayama and made many roads impassable. Damage on the island was estimated at $100,000 (2000 USD).[4]
2001
[edit]- August 18 - the outer rainbands of Tropical Storm Chantal produced light to moderate rainfall across Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands. In Puerto Rico, the highest rainfall total was 2.4 inches (61 mm) in Rio Piedras.[5]
- August 22–23 – Tropical Storm Dean dropped heavy rainfall across Puerto Rico, peaking at 12.7 inches (322 mm) in Salinas. The passage of Dean resulted in widespread flooding in eastern and southern Puerto Rico, collapsing two bridges and one road. Several highways were under water, and one car was swept away by the floodwaters. The four inside the vehicle were later rescued and unharmed. Throughout the island, about 1,320 houses were flooded, and two houses experienced collapsed roofs. The rains left various towns without power or water.[6] Two people were injured in Peñuelas,[6] and three were injured in Nagüabo when the ceiling of a day care center collapsed,[7] though no deaths occurred on the island.[6] One airline canceled seventeen flights in and out of the island, and one cruise line was required to alter its path to both Dean and earlier due to Tropical Storm Chantal.[7] Damage in Puerto Rico totaled to $7.7 million (2001 USD, $9.4 million 2008 USD), of which $2.1 million (2001 USD, $2.6 million 2008 USD) was from agricultural damage.[6]
2003
[edit]- August 18 - Tropical Depression Nine caused moderate rainfall in Puerto Rico, where 2 to 3 inches (50 to 75 mm) of precipitation were recorded.[8] Damage in Puerto Rico totaled $20,000 (2003 USD, $33,126 2024 USD).[9]
- October 10–11 - Tropical Storm Mindy caused rainfall levels that reached up to 7.13 inches (181 mm) near Ponce, Puerto Rico.[10] Strong winds left around 29,000 people without power in northeastern Puerto Rico.[11] The rainfall wrecked bridges in Las Piedras and Guayama,[12][13] and led to flooded streams, downed trees, and rockslides that closed four roads. One car was swept away,[14] and a few houses were flooded.[15] The damage total was at least $46,000 (2003 USD).[12][13][16]
- December 8–10 - Tropical Storm Odette caused moderate rainfall across Puerto Rico. Rainfall in Puerto Rico was heaviest in the southeast, where a peak of 8.73 in (221.74 mm) was recorded in Jajome Alto.[17] Odette's rainfall caused flooding throughout Puerto Rico's rivers. The river flooding destroyed three bridges, resulting in $20,000 in damages (2003 USD).[18]
2004
[edit]- September 15–16 - Upon striking Puerto Rico, Tropical Storm Jeanne produced tropical storm force winds in portions of the island. A NWS employee reported sustained winds of 63 mph (101 km/h), with gusts to 71 mph (114 km/h) in Salinas along the southern coast.[19] In Cayey, located in the center of the island, a 72 mph (117 km/h) gust was reported, just shy of hurricane force. Additionally, the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan reported sustained winds of 49 mph (80 km/h).[20] In Yabucoa, the winds killed one woman after she was flung into a wall.[4] A total of 8 were killed, and damage totaled $169.5 million (2004 USD),[21][22] making it the most damaging tropical cyclone since Hurricane Georges in 1998.[23][24]
2006
[edit]- August 3 - Tropical Storm Chris dropped light rainfall in Puerto Rico, peaking at 3.09 inches (78 mm) in Fajardo.[20] The rainfall from the storm caused the Fajardo River to overflow its banks, which temporarily closed a highway in the northeastern portion of the island.[25]
2007
[edit]- October 26 - The precursor of Hurricane Noel dropped heavy rainfall across Puerto Rico for several days, leaving grounds saturated and causing surface runoff.[26] Precipitation peaked at 17.23 inches (438 mm) at Carite Lake.[27] Flash flooding was reported in Carolina, and a mudslide occurred in Utuado. Flooding occurred along several rivers, including the Río de la Plata, with a reading of 8.9 feet (2.7 m) above flood stage at Toa Baja reported late on October 27.[26] In response to high water levels, officials opened dam gates along the Río de la Plata and the Río Carraízo.[28] There were no official reports of fatalities.[29]

2008
[edit]- August 30–31 - Some areas of northeastern Puerto Rico observed 10–12 inches (250–300 mm) of rain in only 24 hours due to Tropical Storm Hanna. As a result, many rivers exceeded their banks and several mudslides were reported. A number of streets were inundated and later closed. The Westin Rio Mar Golf Club course in Río Grande was also flooded. On the western side of the island in Añasco, residents fled their homes for shelters.[34]
- September 21–23 - The precursor to Hurricane Kyle produced record-breaking rains over Puerto Rico from September 21 to 23.[35] With isolated maxima in excess of 30 inches (760 mm), rivers breached their flood walls and flooded low-lying areas.[36] Damage to agriculture on the island was estimated to be $23 million and structural damage was estimated at $25 million, for a total of $48 million.[37][38]
- October 13–16 - The precedent to Hurricane Omar produced heavy rains over the island, causing minor flooding.[39] After passing by Puerto Rico a second time, Omar produced locally heavy rains, which caused minor street flooding.[40] A man died after he collapsed from cardiac arrest while trying to install storm shutters on his home.[41]
2009
[edit]- August 17 - Minor rainfall from Tropical Storm Ana triggering minor flooding but little damage.[42] A maximum of 2.76 in (70 mm) of rain fell in Río Grande.[43] The rains caused the Río Fajardo to rise, resulting in the issuance of an alert as officials warned it could overflow its banks. Several streets were temporarily shut down due to flooding, including one tunnel, and three schools had to be evacuated. Throughout the island, roughly 6,000 people were left without power as numerous branches were snapped off trees and knocked down power lines.[44]
- August 22 - Large, life-threatening swells produced by Hurricane Bill impacted north-facing coastlines of Puerto Rico[45][46]
- September 4 - The remnants of Tropical Storm Erika produced significant amounts of rainfall, causing the rivers of La Plata, Loíza and Caguitas to overflow their banks and trigger widespread flooding.[47] A weather station in Naguabo recorded 7.92 in (201 mm) of precipitation.[48][49] Several other areas recorded upwards of 4 in (100 mm).[49] In the municipality of Guanica, several homes were flooded, leaving $5,000 in damage.[50] The most severe damage took place in the municipality of Las Piedras where $15,000 was reported in flood losses.[51] One river rose to a level of 29.27 ft (8.92 m), 7.27 ft (2.22 m) above flood stage.[52] Damage in Fajardo was estimated at $10,000 after homes were inundated by flood waters.[53] Additionally, flooding in Caguas resulted in $5,000 in damage.[54]
