El Rincón Borinqueña : Island Disasters

"Earthquake History of Puerto Rico"

Speaking of earthquakes I just received notice from Dr. Ana Maria Tekina-eiru Maynard of the PRF Dance Organization that this early Sunday Morning an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8 struck Puerto Rico on May 16, 2010 at 1:16 am. on the Western Side of the Island northeast of Mayaguez. It was felt widespread. At the time of the report there were no immediate reports of major damage or injuries, but they are waiting for daylight.
