Washington, January 9 (RHC)-- U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an emergency declaration for Puerto Rico, after a 6.4 magnitude earthquake killed at least one person and sparked a massive power outage that plunged nearly the entire population into darkness.

It’s the largest earthquake to hit Puerto Rico in more than 100 years and follows a series of strong quakes that have rattled the island in recent days.  Flattened homes and inoperable power plants have left nearly 350 people homeless and at least 300,000 without drinking water.
