SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Officials say a small and rare tornado that swept briefly through a town in northwestern Puerto Rico damaged homes and caused at least one landslide. The U.S. National Weather Service said the tornado touched down in the coastal town of Aguada on Sunday afternoon. The agency said it would analyze the damage to determine the tornado’s classification. Government officials told reporters on Monday that the tornado downed power lines and trees and tore off at least one roof of a small home before it moved out to sea. They are still estimating the damage.
