A total of 24 tornadoes, including the one reported over the weekend, have hit Puerto Rico since record-keeping began in 1950, but experts say 'the majority of them don’t even cause any damage.' Rare tornado downs trees, damages homes in Puerto Rico:
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — A small and rare tornado swept briefly through a town in northwestern Puerto Rico, damaging homes and causing at least one landslide, officials said Monday. No injuries were reported.
Government officials told reporters that the short-lived tornado downed trees and power lines and tore off the roof of at least one home before it moved out to sea. Videos posted on social media show palm trees bending in heavy winds as debris swirls in the air as people are heard yelling in the background.
“The majority of them don’t even cause any damage,” said Emanuel Rodríguez González, a meteorologist with the U.S. National Weather Service. “They’re quite weak.”
