San Fermín

Parkwells (talk) 20:50, 10 December 2012 (UTC)There should be an explanation or something explaining why it is called "San Fermín". Thief12 (talk) 15:23, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Distances?

The Lead says the epicenter was 5 Km offshore; the paragraph under "Geology of earthquake" says it was 16 Km offshore. These need to agree.

Tusnami

I added the following information to the Tsunami section because it is lacking in details of mechanics and effects: "Witnesses of the tsunami reported that the sea first retreated, exposing reefs and seafloor in some parts that had never been seen, even in extremely low tides. Afterward these incredibly low tides, the water returned, reaching high elevations. In some places, the large wave was followed by one or two smaller ones. In the closed bays, the water was disturbed for some time.

The area surrounding Aguadilla, which is located in the northwestern corner of the island, was hit hardest by the tsunami. Though they were not the greatest sized waves produced by the tsunami, waves 4 meters tall wiped out a village of huts located along the beach, killing 32 people."
