A 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck Puerto Rico early Sunday morning, the United States Geological Survey said.
The USGS placed the epicenter of the quake near the city of Moca, in the northwestern end of the island.
Officer Guidiberto Torres Valle with the Moca Police Department said some parts of the city lost power, but service was quickly restored.
The Municipal Hospital in the city of Cayey treated a woman suffering from anxiety caused by the earthquake but no other injuries.
Araceli Vega, a nurse in the hospital, told CNN that she was treating a patient when she felt the building rattle, followed by a short moment of fear and confusion.

I thank GOD that nobody was hurt in this earthquake. Mi suegro lives in aguas buenas & there was no damage. I'm not spanish/puerto rican, but not all the men are not lazy as "hombre" says. My husband is boricua & he works hard to support our family. We have 3 kids between us that need us to work. Its ok to get some help from the state if you need to, but not to live off of the state/govt. If you can work.... WORK! You feel better about urself!
wow "hombre" all of that for an earthquake, what does one being lazy got to do with, us being bless. Although we are working people just like everybody else. get a life and God bless you, you sound very bitter!!
This is a climate phenomenon widespread and apparently not going to end from one day to another ..
