First protests, now fire. It's hasn't the best week for Puerto Rico, has it? If you're in San Juan this weekend, you've obviously seen the black clouds swirling over the city, the result of a fire at an oil storage facility in Bayamon that began on Friday.

Naturally, this is a freak occurrence that should have no impact on any trips you've planned to the island. The situation is apparently under control, after a scary weekend for many in and around the capital, but the worst seems to be over.
