6.5 quake strikes Puerto Rico amid heavy seismic activity
Source: Seattle Times
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A 6.5-magnitude earthquake struck Puerto Rico before dawn on Tuesday, the largest in a series of quakes that have struck the U.S. territory in recent days and caused heavy damage in some areas.
A tsunami alert was issued for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Puerto Rico’s Electric Power Authority also reported an island-wide power outage.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake hit just south of the island at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers. It initially gave the magnitude as 6.6 but later adjusted it.
There were no immediate report of injuries or damage but the power outage made it hard to obtain information.

LOL, it takes all the stuff in the address to get the exact location and proper sizing.
Otherwise, just go here and do the locating and other settings yourself: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/
To add insult to injury, there's a new 6.0 and an almost simultaneous 5.8 that just occurred (at about 6:20 Eastern time).
Time to beef up my Red Cross contributions for both Puerto Rico and Australia.
KY........
The swarm is around the 2 intersecting shelf faults in that area. I didn't expect bigger ones to hit after that initial 5.8. I read that the worst was a 7.0 back in 1918 and hope it doesn't come to that. It's already collapsing cliffs along the shore in that area of southern P.R. 
Tried to find an English newspaper in PR that's kept up to date but none found yet. Instead, I ran across some twitter pages where lots of locals are posting:

from 2017, let alone Hurricane Dorian that sideswiped the island in 2019. 
with concrete to help withstand hurricanes (and the winds from them) and then here come the quakes that just cracks them apart.
It has been rocking and rolling over there for awhile.
