Earthquake jolts U.S. Caribbean Territories

A strong earthquake jolted people awake Saturday in the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. There were no immediate reports of damages.

The magnitude 6.1 quake reportedly was the strongest to hit Puerto Rico in 20 years and struck on the 90th anniversary of a 7.3 quake that killed 118 people in the western half of Puerto Rico in 1918.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake struck was centered about 70 kilometers (43 miles) northwest of Anegada in the British Virgin Islands. Disaster officials in the British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico said there were no reports of significant damage or injuries.
