Puerto Rico has been rattled by temblors throughout the week, including a 6.4 magnitude quake Tuesday that killed at least one man, destroyed homes and left most of the island without power. A 5.2 magnitude aftershock struck on Friday afternoon.
The
US territory was expecting power to return by Saturday to its 3 million
residents, and authorities had tweeted that it was 95% restored a

Parts
of Lares, Adjuntas, Ponce and San German lost electrical service after
Saturday's quake, the power company Electric Energy Authority said.
After the tremor, power was on to about 93% of the island, the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority said.
Since December 28, about 500 earthquakes of magnitude 2.0 or higher have hit Puerto Rico, the USGS said.
