According to the earthquake report, we had a 3 about 5 miles from Culebra last evening. I'm not sure which direction that was in, and didn't feel anything, but I was asleep after a long day!
Earthquake Activity Culebra, PR 5 miles / 9 km 3.0 9:54 PM AST 2008-06-01
We have a 50% chance of rain officially, but a lot of the potential seems to be over mid and western PR. You'd think they would share with us!
As seen in the sat, there is lots of water everywhere, but so far, not a drop for us!

I was right on one hand, wrong on another...we didn't get drops, we got a deluge! It came in fast enough to soak all things that should not be soaked at the cart. I waited a bit, hoping the sun would come out and do the steam dry, but instead a leisurely rain came along. That was it...done. Of course, now it probably won't rain again for the rest of the...oops! What's that I hear? RAIN! ok...rain with sun blaring, but rain.
And that is the mid-day update

I'll be damned, about that time I was leaning back
in my desk chair and thought i felt a slight
shift, nothing rattled or trembled but I think I
felt it. I used to feel light ones too in Las Colinas
(hills above Punta Aloe) particularly when I was
near large boulders.
If you haven't been in a larger one, it stuns you.
In approx july "86 we were staying in Oceanside
Calif just north of San Diego. We were staying in
a small cement two story older motel-like place,
we were on the second floor. We woke up early in
the morning to feel the whole building being
violently thrown to and fro.
We were from Iowa at the time and didn't have
a clue as to what was happening, so we stayed
in our beds transfixed looking at the ceiling waiting
to see if it would crack or fall. finally one of us
figured out we should get under the bed.
The power of raw nature, I know why the ancients
created natural force gods and tried to appease them.
