美属波多黎各发生6.4级地震
The governor of Puerto Rico, Wanda Vazquez, has declared a state of emergency and activated the National Guard after several earthquakes hit the Caribbean Island. The strongest, measuring a magnitude 6.4, struck Tuesday along the island's southern coast.
The earthquakes knocked out power and killed at least one person, officials and media reported.
The U.S. territory is still recovering from two destructive hurricanes in 2017 that killed 3,000 people and destroyed a lot of infrastructure across the island.

Vazquez became governor seven months ago. Large demonstrations pushed former Governor Ricardo Rossello from office.
After the quakes, Vazquez asked Puerto Ricans to remain calm.
She wrote on Twitter, "We want everyone to be safe...be with your family, implementing your emergency plans."
