SAN JUAN- En el 2010 América Latina y el Caribe fueron testigos de grandes movimientos telúricos y Puerto Rico no fue excepción. La Red Sísmica de la Isla reportó 1,671 temblores hasta el 29 de diciembre.
Sin embargo no es el año con mayor número de sismo registrados, en el 2009 la tierra se movió 2,739, lo que representa una diferencia de1,068 temblores. Lo que este año cambió según la geóloga Lillian Soto, fue el número de terremotos sentidos por las personas; en este año 68 movimientos fueron reportados como sentidos y en 2009 sólo 23 de ellos.
“En noviembre tuvimos eventos de enjambre. Varios sismos se sintieron y estuvieron ubicados en la región conocida como la Falla de los 19 grados, al norte del País”, señaló Soto en entrevista con el periódico El Nuevo Día.
En diciembre solamente se han reportado en la Isla 80 movimientos telúricos, de los cuales sólo siete han sido sentidos por los puertorriqueños. El último sismo y de mayor magnitud tuvo lugar el pasado 24 de diciembre durante Nochebuena, fue un temblor de magnitud de 5.4 en la escala de Richter y su epicentro se ubicó en el municipio de Aguas Buenas.
Ninguno de los sismos provocó grandes daños o pérdida de vida humana, tampoco representaron peligro de tsunami para la Isla.
