The city of Ponce in Puerto Rico was rattled by an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.5 at the wee hours of Saturday morning. Though a tsunami advisory was not issued, officials in Puerto Rico determined that it did cause some destruction. Ponce Mayor Maria "Mayita" Melendez revealed that buildings were damaged but officials are currently focusing on making sure that citizens are okay while analyzing the level of damage done.
According to CNN, surrounding areas were also struck with earthquakes around 3.4 to 4.9 on the Richter scale. Gov. Wanda Vazquez Garced updated citizens on the status of investigations on Twitter. Vasquez said that there hasn't been damage done outside of the Ponce area after officials investigated into three dams.
"We emphasize the importance of remaining calm and urge everyone to always use a face covering when outside the home," Vazquez said in a tweet. Vasquez also shared gratitude for Trump and FEMA. "Thanks to the coordinator of @femaregion2, Alex Amparo for communication. Puerto Rico will have all the resources it needs for any assistance. @realDonaldTrump," she added.
Following the earthquake, The Electric Energy Authority tweeted that the EcoElecrica power plant was down, though they assured citizens that they were working hard at bringing it back. There hasn't been any indication of how many residents had lost power due to the shortage.
Snoop Dogg’s Hair Reacts To L.A. Earthquake Before He Does
Snoop Dogg returns to his slumber after the earthquake in Los Angeles.
In the wee hours of the morning, an earthquake with a 3.7 magnitude hit Los Angeles. The “light shaking” occurred in South L.A., Inglewood, Culver City, and the L.A. International Airport, marking the second earthquake in a matter of 10 days that had a magnitude above 3.0.

Los Angeles residents immediately hit the ‘Gram to react to the earthquake as dishes and cars began shaking. However, while the rest of the L.A. area reacted to the earthquake, Snoop Dogg was sound asleep. He took to the ‘Gram recently explaining that he didn’t feel the earthquake at all. His hair, on the other hand, “gathered itself up” once the earthquake struck.
“They said we just had an earthquake. I didn’t feel shit,” Snoop said. “The fuck happened to my hair? We must’ve had an earthquake because my hair didn’t look like this when I went to bed. My hair must’ve got scared and gathered itself up to protect itself from the earthquake. I didn’t feel it.”
Ultimately, this train of thought only lasted for a little while before Snoop declared that he was going back to bed. Quarantine is clearly giving Snoop a well-deserved break from his regularly scheduled events but truthfully, it’s a bit alarming that his hair reacted to the earthquake before he did.
