October 1918 Puerto Rico, USA Images
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
At 10:14 am local time on October 11th, 1918, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck in Mona Passage, west of Puerto Rico.
Description
The shock was immediately followed by a tsunami with runup heights reaching 6 meters. Both the earthquake and tsunami caused widespread property damage with estimates beginning at $4 million in damage and more than 100 casualties.
The greatest number of fatalities are attributed to the tsunami.
