Huge gasoline explosion in Puerto Rico
Fuel storage blast rocks Puerto Rico capital
By MIKE MELIA (AP) – 1 hour ago
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — An explosion at a fuel storage site sent earthquake-force shock waves across Puerto Rico's capital Friday and set more than a dozen tanks on fire, sending up a tower of inky smoke that forced airliners to alter flight paths.
Seemingly miraculously, no one was reported killed by the blast at Caribbean Petroleum Corp. in the suburb of Bayamon. The cause was unknown.
The explosion at 12:30 a.m. was the equivalent of a 2.8 magnitude earthquake, according to the Puerto Rico Seismic Network. It shook people out of bed across metropolitan San Juan and shattered windows across the bay in colonial Old San Juan, one of many neighborhoods where onlookers gaped at the thick smoke boiling north toward the Atlantic Ocean.
Gov. Luis Fortuno declared a state of emergency for five municipalities, including San Juan and Bayamon, to receive federal funds for affected areas. Up to 1,500 people were evacuated from one neighborhood because of concerns over smoke contamination, he said.
Fifteen of the site's 40 fuel tanks caught fire, but several tanks were no longer burning by Friday night, Fortuno said.
He said Puerto Rico still has a 24-day supply of fuel and assured residents six of the U.S. island's seven fuel lines were operating.

Spice up your mealtime with traditional Puerto Rican flavors, colors and seasonings
By CLEO CANTLON, Correspondent, cecantlon@srt.com
No Spanish is needed to enjoy Puerto Rican food, even though guest chef Clare Rodriguez tossed in bits of language education as she demonstrated some wonderful dishes from the native home of her husband, Obed.
One major component was plantains, a vegetable that looks like an oversize banana.
“It’s like a potato, and it turns from green to yellow to almost black as it ripens,” Rodriguez explained. “It wouldn’t hurt you if you ate it raw but it wouldn’t be very tasty. As it ripens it gets sweeter and sweeter.”
It is sometimes hard to get plantains at the stage of ripeness desired, so she often buys them green and allows them to ripen on the counter or in a paper bag.
One of her family’s favorite foods is a plantain casserole, called piñon, in which fried plantains are layered with a meat mixture and baked.
