So, this happened
(WFTV) A 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck Puerto Rico early Tuesday, killing at least one person, injuring at least eight others and knocking out power across the island, according to multiple reports.
The quake, centered about 3 miles south-southwest of Tallaboa, occurred at 4:24 a.m. local time, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The temblor did not pose a tsunami risk, officials with the National Weather Service said in a Twitter post.
Several subsequent quakes followed, ranging from 3.7 to 5.6 in magnitude, the USGS reported.
Tuesday morning’s earthquake was the latest in a string of temblors reported on the island in recent days, according to Reuters. A 5.8 magnitude earthquake and a subsequent 5.1 magnitude aftershock struck the U.S. territory Monday, causing “small landslides,†damaging homes and knocking out power in some areas, according to the AP.
Yeah, I tried to ignore the idiocy on Monday, but, it has gotten so much worse
6.4 earthquake in Puerto Rico and the island is again without power. Fuck you, climate deniers! https://t.co/VhbFWQv3G9

Another earthquake in Puerto Rico why does people haven't suffered enough. do you think the GOP cares enough to think about their vote what does president who doesn't believe in climate change. Earthquakes are caused by climate change because of the warming of the earth core.

A 5.8 earthquake shook Puerto Rico this morning. For the last week there were small seismic shakes. Puerto Rico is enduring the brunt of climate change and will continue to deal with more catastrophic climate incidents. Many of us stateside are awaiting a phone call from family

OK, that’s enough, you get the idea.
