Damage at Cayey, Puerto Rico from Hurricane Maria

Detailed Description

Hurricane Maria damaged the SJG observatory in Cayey, Puerto Rico, although the instruments at the observatory survived and recorded the event. In this photo, taken 25 September 2017, the bunker containing the seismic station is visible in the hillside in the background. During the hurricane, the once lush hillside was stripped of vegetation. Credit: Miguel Lopez, USGS
