The event was the largest in Puerto Rico since May 16th of the same year,[2] and the largest to impact the San Juan metropolitan area since 1975.[3] The earthquake was felt throughout the island of Puerto Rico, the island municipalities of Vieques and Culebra, the American and British Virgin Islands, and even in the Dominican Republic across the Mona Passage.
