There are no news sources for this yet, as they haven't had a chance to report on it. This occurred in Guaynabo, PR

Caribbean Gulf Petroleum has exploded and is currently on fire. It was a large enough explosion to register as an earthquake. Source: http://twitter.com/usgs_eq_25

This is a big deal, as apparently there are gas lines connected to the refineries and they cannot disconnect it. These lines go all over the place, including power plants.

If you have seen this thread, please pray for those who have been affected by this.

That's so crazy o___o I'll definitely be praying 8(

I will definitely be praying about this.

I hope they find a way to stop it. I have family in PR.

News story is up on CNN.

Here are the pics from some points at my folks place,and the university route I take.
They aren't as flashy or hot as the others,mind you I wasn't going any closer to the gulf.

The event was quite interesting. A friend sent me a text at 12:31 asking me if I had felt the quake since he ,and I lived fairly close. LOL I answered no cause I had just woken up when the quake ended,and I went back to sleep. At 4:30 a.m. after I woke my father told me what had happened.
Another friend of mine who lives in the residential area closest to the Gulf Petroleum told me that he thought that with all the confusion,and the explosions that there had been an airplane accident. Oh yeah,and there were people in his block who thought that the rapture had occurred or that the apocalypse had finally arrived. xD
I don't believe that there have been any deaths (at least I haven't heard any reports about it). The serious thing is that if the wind changes from blowing to the north west (as it has been since this morning) the smoke,and other gases will spread into the island,and it'll become an even more serious health,and environmental threat than it already is. This would really do harm to those with respiratory health issues. Hope it stays as it is cause I don't want to breath any toxins.

Yeah, it looks like things are okay for the most part. My mom told me our family should be safe. The only main concern, as you said Amzi, is the wind.

I'll continue to pray 8(

Yeah,the problems that this might cause are mostly long term,and will affect people indirectly. Still,everything seams to be ok.
