It looks like they were showing two separate quakes -- and neither link worked properly. Now there's just one, and the link is http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usc000m1w9#summary

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A strong earthquake out to sea has shaken Puerto Rico's northern coast, causing minor damage in some places.

Dozens of people reported fallen items in their home and feeling buildings sway in the capital of San Juan, about 59 miles (96 kilometers) from the quake's epicenter.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake had a preliminary magnitude of 6.5 and struck just after midnight about 34 miles (56 kilometers) north of Hatillo. It said the quake occurred 17 miles (28 kilometers) deep.

but it has rained steadily for the past 5 days and this area is prone to landslides even without the earthquakes. So far I haven't heard of any damage.
One of the quickest and best sources for earthquake reporting is this one.
