    The first one was yesterday morning a little after 9am. It was 5.2. I was at work and things started shaking and rattling. It lasted kinda long it seemed. I called hubby at home and it knocked the clock off the top of the TV>

    Then last night we were in bed at about 9:30pm and another earthquake hit. 4.5 this time. It shook things up a little.

    Then at around 5am this morning there was a little one.....3.6 I heard. We didn't feel that one.

    People are a little nervous this morning and in the Daily News they have am article about how we have no tsunami warning system in place....

    I was just looking the the Puerto Rico website with seismic info and we actually had 4 yesterday, one was before the 9am one. 3.7, 5.0, 4.5, 3.6

    Here is a link for anyone curious about this sort of thing
