The 2010 Moca earthquake, also referred to as the 2010 Puerto Rico earthquake (Spanish: temblor de Puerto Rico de 2010), occurred on May 16 at 1:16 a.m. local time in Moca, Puerto Rico.[1] The earthquake measured 5.8 on the moment magnitude scale and had a maximum Mercalli intensity of VI (Strong). This was the largest earthquake to strike Puerto Rico since the 1943 Puerto Rico earthquake which measured 7.7 on the Richter scale.[2] This was also the first moderate to major earthquake in recorded history to originate on land in Puerto Rico, as earthquakes in the region usually have their epicenter in the ocean; another earthquake with an epicenter on land (in Aguas Buenas) would occur later in December of the same year.
