“Everyone is out on the street,” she said.
More landslides and damaged homes were reported, along with severe cracks on a bridge in the southwest coastal town of Guanica.
More than 4,000 people have been staying in shelters, many fearful of returning to their homes, and others unable to because of extensive damage.

I’ve known some really good Marines from Puerto Rico.
Maybe you should just move out of florida if it is as bad as you say it is.
These are human beings who are losing everything. Please put yourself and their shoes...just for a day.
Too bad they can’t mass up and rebuild their country instead of running away from it and coming here when disaster strikes. This is a recurring pattern with these people. Guess it’s too much of a temptation when Uncle Sugar hands you a middle class lifestyle gratis.
You don’t know whose shoes I’ve been in so don’t start flaming.
Prayers for Pueto Rico.
Btw dumb ass Puerto Rico is America.
Its PR dude. Vast majority of PR problems are at the end of US federal government programs that were intended to help, but the local control part in the commonwealth fell apart in Caribbean standard operating procedure.
No. I’m trying to reclaim what I’ve lost to these damned hordes. I don’t believe in cutting and running which is what they do and which is what you are telling me I need to do. Have a great day, pal.
Hope the Black Angus was spared
Hey Mr. Virginia. You’ve got the Governor you deserve. He’s calling out the National Guard to separate you from your Second Amendment rights. So why don’t you move to Puerto Rico and try to exercise them there since according to you its part of the U.S.?
Sadly I believe it was torn down years ago.
Ustah like my RON’s in San J for that reason, but I was 20
You obviously dont know VA or Puerto Rico and I have family that live in Puerto Rico and visit quite often. It’s a beautiful place.
Do you always hate your fellow Americans?

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A magnitude 5.9 quake shook Puerto Rico on Saturday, causing millions of dollars of damage along the island’s southern coast, where previous recent quakes have toppled homes and schools.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the 8:54 a.m. (1254 GMT) quake hit 8 miles (13 kilometers) southeast of Guanica at a shallow depth of 3 miles (5 kilometers). It was followed by several aftershocks, including a magnitude 5.2 temblor less than two minutes later.
You whine a lot.
When does our largess stop? Do we just have to keep on giving and giving to ungrateful people who hate us?
Kobe. ....
Nuff said. ...
That’s a man, Baby!
