Puerto Rico Earthquake 2010: Christa von Hillebrandt, director of the Tsunami Warning Program, warned that the 5.8 earthquake in Puerto Rico that occurred in the morning is just a warning of major earthquake that will happen in Puerto Rico.

What happened today is just a sign of activity on faults in the region of Puerto Rico The earth is saying I’m alive and I’m moving,” said the expert.

Von Hillebrandt said, according to the measuring instruments, the phenomenon spread to eight minutes even when a citizen’s perception was 10 to 15 seconds.

The expert explained that there has been only one reply directly related to the earthquake and it took four minutes following the main event and it was a magnitude 3.2 degrees on the Richter scale.

The major event that will possibly hit Puerto Rico, will be 8 degrees on the Richter scale, von Hillebrandt said. “Earthquakes are inevitable, unpredictable, but the damage is mitigated,” he said.

A study of Haiti after the quake, estimated that a total of 2,000 people may die on the island if it recorded an earthquake of 7.3 degrees. The most vulnerable structures are houses on stilts, the structures built on hillsides and tall buildings.

For its part, the director of the Emergency Management Agencies and Disaster  Heriberto Saurí, said much remains to be done.

This was a real sham and many people did not know what to do, ran instead of staying calm. Citizenship has to practice certifying their family plans, “said Sauri.

    There is no fact to this whatsover. By fact I mean evidence to prove that an earthquake is coming. Ofcourse an earthquake is coming, its inevitible. But it could be 100yrs later a major one will happen. So be prepared but stop freaking out Puerto Rico.
