In El Salvador, the precursor trough produced about 2.76 inches (70 mm) of rainfall in about ten hours.[17]
The precursor system dropped heavy rainfall across western Cuba, peaking at 12.0 inches (300 mm) in Sancti Spíritus Province.[3] Several other locations recorded over 4 inches (100 mm) of precipitation, which caused flooding along rivers and low-lying areas. The city of Guane was isolated after flooding cut off communications. In total, more than 2,000 people were evacuated due to the threat for flooding. Additionally, the precursor disturbance spawned four tornadoes in Pinar del Río Province; the tornadoes injured three people and damaged fifty-five houses, of which four collapsed.[18]
