2 Weak Invests & Strong Quake Near Puerto Rico

As mentioned several times here the area around the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico has been suffering small quakes on a daily basis. Seems they were a pre-shock and today there was a strong 6.1 Quake on the 90th anniversary of their strongest recorded Quake that was 7.3. We forget while watching the tropics how seismologically active this region is even though it's not in the Pacific Ring of Fire. Both Cuba and Jamaica are also prone to strong Quakes just not that often. Strange coincidence. Maybe there is something to their being an Earthquake Season. Who knows.. But, worth mentioning that PR has definitely had it's share of what Planet Earth has thrown at it this year.
