Two instances of earthquake were reported at two different points on earth – one at the US island of Puerto Rico in the Caribbean Sea and another one at the Greek island of Crete. The earthquake at southern Puerto Rico measured 5.5 on the Richter scale while the one that hit the southern island of Greece measured 6.6.
In Puerto Rico, hundreds of homes were destroyed and power was disrupted forcing the relocation of more than 50 families who were housed in shelters following a quake that rocked the island earlier this year. In the small city of Ponce, the earthquake led to cracking of walls, and caused a balcony to crash. The earthquake has it the city at a time the US is reporting the highest number of cases.
Meanwhile, no damages were reported in the Greek island of Crete.
