Saturday morning after Puerto Rican’s had just gotten their power back on, another quake came rumbling through. This one recorded a 6.0 on the richter scale.

This latest quake occurred in the Caribbean Sea, just 8 miles south of Indios at a depth of only 6.2 miles.

All week Puerto Rico has been dealing with temblors. The US territory was expected to have power returned to 3 million residents before Saturday’s quake.
