About

Grew up in Mayagüez between a seismograph and a tide gauge, then studied marine science at the Colegio. Spent the 2020 earthquake swarm sleeping in a car in Guánica so she could file from the ground. Writes what the instrument said, then what the scientist said, in that order.

How they write

Plain and instrument-literal. Magnitude, location, reading, time. Wonder allowed only after the data is stated.
