USGS: Strong Earthquake Srikes off Puerto Rico

Agence France-Presse

   MIAMI - A strong 6.0 magnitude struck off the northwest coast of Puerto
   Rico late Monday, the United States Geological Survey said, although no
   casualties or damage were reported.

   The quake struck 62km northwest of San Antonio at 11:23 pm local time
   (03:20 GMT) at a depth of 10km, the agency said.

   San Antonio is home to Rafael Hernandez Airport, a key air link to the
   mainland U.S.

   In 2010 nearby Haiti was struck by a devastating 7.0 magnitude
   earthquake that killed more than 250,000 people and crippled the
   nation's infrastructure.
