A strong earthquake struck overnight causing a blackout across the u. S. Territory. The magnitude 6. 4 earthquake hit just south of the island. Now it comes one day after a 5. 8magnitude quake damaged homes and caused landslides there. The mayor of the city of ponce told a local station at least one person was killed. David begnaud is joining us. Hes been monitoring the developing story. Theres no such thing as a good time for an earthquake. Theyve been dealing with this for the last week or so. I was looking on the usgs website, there was a 5. 8, 4. 5. They wont stop. Are stang outside over fears that their homes may collapse with future earthquakes. This is the largest in a series of earthquakes that have hit the island in ayntres. D we have video from inside of a Grocery Store that shows people scattering and taking off when the quake hit. Other pictures show homes and bu rungthat c some houses were ripped to their foundations. Other cars were crushed underneath homes that collapsed. We have a social media image posted by a local journalist that Shows Patients evacuated on stretchers outside of the damas hospital in ponce. Earthquake concerns have been the island sits on an active fault and has had 700 earthquakes since the end of december. Most go unnoticed. And get this after out to a seismologist with the usgs to find out what the chances were that there would be something stronger than a 5. 8. He put the odds at 3 . Pe mning the odds did not work out in their favor. We spoke to puerto ricos power authority, the ceo. I spoke to him on the phone. He said there was actually another earthquake happening as we were talking. He said theres minor damage to the two largest power plants on the island. There was an automatic shutdown of the power grid when this mornings major earthquake happened. So it was a protective measure that the power plant shut down. They hope to get it back in service by noon. Im actually getting off the set and getting on a plane to go. 700 earthquakes in a short amount of time. Yea thankou so back in washington, a stunning reversal from former National Security adviser john bolton. He says he is willing to give testimony at President Trumps Senate Impeachment trial if he is subpoenaed. Speaker nancy pelosi is still withholding the articles of impeachment from the senate as the house returns today. Nancy cordes is in washington for us. Good morning. So big reversal here. How are lawmakers responding . Reporter well, some Senate Republicans tell us that theyre interested in hearing what bolton has to say, while others believe thats a decision that should be made when the trial gets under way. Boltons testimony could be intriguing because he was the president s top Foreign Policy adviser. And we know from other witnesses that he was troubled by the efforts to pressure ukraine into investigating joe biden. Nation council official, for example, fiona hill, said that at one point bolton likened the efforts to a drug deal and told her and others to alert white house lawyers. Democrats think he might know more about the president s decision to withhold millions of dollars in military aid to ukraine. But Republican Senate leader Mitch Mcconnell says that all decisions about witnesses should take place after Opening Statements in the senate trial, just like they did during the clinton impeachment trial more than 20 years ago. The risk is if Senate Republicans decide to hear from john bolton, then its going to be harder to justify stopping there. Democrats want to hear from a host of witnesses that the white house blocked from testifying before the house impeachment inquiry. Yeah. This does shake things up. Thank you.
