Those quakes described in the press release seem to correspond to the major fault line in, on and around this island.

The big one felt in Santo Domingo seems to be near the Puerto Rico Deep, a very active area. The others along the fault lines of the Cibao and the Plantain-Enriquillo fault line.

I was going to comment that the quake was probably the result of my eldest son's third marriage....oh well...

Have a wet and rainy day..
