Yikes, that the first I've heard of this. We've been a bit busy digging out of mud here in the L.A., Ventura, and Santa Barbara Counties in CA. A heavy rain storm right after those wildfires is not fun. Run-off from the denuded mountains spells disaster. Personally we have been safe as we are far enough from the mountains and wild areas. The TV news has been 90% weather related since Sunday.

It looks like the tsunami warning has been canceled.

What has happened to Puerto Rico saddens my heart.
I lived in San Juan (more precisely Isla Verde) for 4 years in the 1970s. It is a beautiful island and the people are wonderful. There is much history and nature to enjoy.

I think you will find that someone at the USGS jumped the gun on there really being a 7.6...it was shown at the USGS site on earthquakes, but has been removed now...

Don't worry. The Donald will take care of them. Look what he's done for them after the hurricane.

I guess you buy into the vile crap that the media puts out too . Only if God we’re President could supplies have gone in faster . The ports were a shipping hazard that had to be cleared first . If this President cured cancer , the Leftists would find fault in it .

Apparently you think he didn't do anything for them. I said Donald would take care of them didn't I??

Apology in order sir . Thought you were being sarcastic . Trump has many faults , but the level of sarcasm leveled at this man is becoming obsessional . It does nothing for the country but confuse people .
Sorry .

We're well over a hundred days in the disaster in Puerto Rico. Most people still don't have drinkable water or electricity.
