  EMSC Felt Reports
  Mayagüez: My wife and I were sleeping and were awoken by an initial quake that I would say lasted 20 seconds followed by another one 15 seconds later . The second one later a bit lomger. We felt the bed shaking and and heard the voices of the. Neighbors saying there is another one.  People came out of their houses and some neighbors were seen running to the town plaza as Mayaguez sits close to the ocean fearing a Tsunami.
  Maricao : As it is still night, i will check for damage tomorrow. minutes later the lights went out various times until finally they stayed off. From past experience with Hurracanes I can expect that somewhere in the out lying countryside electrical lines were damaged and were being isolated in order to be fixed.
  Aibonito : I was LITERALLY awoke by this earthquake! It felt pretty
  Hard and lasted about 20-30 seconds and immediately felt another one of lesser magnitude but for about the same time! You could definitely hear the rumble
  And the glass doors were really at it! The dogs and cats woke up, very much alert to the situation!!!
  Bayamón: Strong woke me up. Rapid and short up/down movement but also swaying side to side. Closet doors rattle, ceiling lamp swung etc.Dogs in the neighborhood started to bark. Looked for it on the web by phone and while doing this it earth started to  shake again stronger and longer.  Rumbling noise. I put on clothes , shoes, gathered personal stuff (wallet house car keys etc). I was ready to start running and getting outside. Feeling two in a row and the 2nd one stronger than first one was really scary.
  Barranquitas: Really Noisy
