...SANTA ROSA FUNNEL CLOUD EVENT...

After the National Weather Service team evaluated what happened in the Santa
Rosa urbanization in the municipality of Bayamn, we have concluded that the
event is classified as a funnel cloud case. On April 23, 2024, at around
1:30 PM, a funnel cloud formed over Santa Rosa, according to several
reports from area residents. Debris in the air was also reported due to the
peripheral winds associated with this phenomenon. However, after conducting
interviews with residents of the area and analyzing videos and photos, we
could not confirm that the core of the funnel cloud touched down. For this
reason, the determination was made that it was not a tornado.
