A major magnitude 7.3 quake hit the impoverished country of Haiti Tuesday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The epicentre of the quake, which was initially reported a magnitude 7.0 off the coast, was located inland, six miles (10 km) west of Carrefour, close to the capital Port-au-Prince and was only 20.5 miles (30 km) deep. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere....

Based on location, Gitmo, Columbia, Jamaica and Venezuela are the most likely to suffer if there is a Tsunami.

The Caribbean is within the “ring of fire” IIRC...

Don’t know the answer but i’ve been up and down the caribbean and those islands are many and close. The potential for tsunami damage could be across many islands.

how often did you think of that?
To: Pyro7480
It's horrible in some places in Haiti without an earthquake.
To: TaraP
Good advice Tara, an earthquake on the west coast (west of Ferndale California), an earthquake in the Carribean, it wouldn't be unreasonable to think that Someone is trying to get our attention.

Is that what the Johnny Cash song was about? I know he had a place in Jamaica. :-)
