The island just can't catch a break...The spate of quakes included a magnitude 6.4 quake which occurred at 8:24 UTC (4:24 am local time), according to the US Geological Survey. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center measured the earthquake at magnitude 6.6.

While reports suggested few were harmed, images flooding on social media appeared to show collapsed buildings and mounds of debris.

The New York Times, which has reporters on the ground, talked to some locals who described watching their homes, which have not yet been fully repaired from damages sustained during Hurricane Maria, be leveled by earthquakes.

Among them was Mr. Rodríguez’s house in the Esperanza neighborhood of Guánica, where some of the most serious damage was reported, including five collapsed houses. Now, in addition to the tarp he has had since Maria, Mr. Rodríguez’s house has huge cracks running up and down his green interior walls.

"It cracked open everywhere inside," said Mr. Rodríguez, 83, a retired bus driver.

The quakes on Monday and Tuesday were so powerful, that the arch on one of the island's most popular rock formations, known as Punta Ventana, was destroyed.

Banco Popular announced that its branches would remain closed on Tuesday, while ATMs will work "as long as there is electricity."

As Puerto Ricans pray for the quakes to pass, it looks like the island just can't catch a break from natural disasters, even after hurricane season has come and gone...

You have to be on top of the epicenter to get damage from such a small quake. But the map indicates that they were on top of it.
