The most strongest earthquake in many centurys strucked the island of Puerto Rico in 1918 forming a tsunami.But read all the history of what happened here at link above.And for some years now the scientists are warning the population that a big one will come soon something like they haved been saying about California. :eek:

Well, the repose time between magnitude 7's is usually about 100 years give or take a dozen or so so you are ripe.

Yes Steve that is the timetable they are saying here.However nobody knows exactly when a +7 may occur as they can't be predicted as hurricanes are.
