Very strange.
I didn’t think Haiti was on a fault zone.
>>I didn’t think Haiti was on a fault zone<<
The Caribbean is within the “ring of fire” IIRC...
how often did you think of that?
Everything is on a fault zone.
I thought the same thing. Goes to show it could happen anywhere.

While all I know about earthquakes comes from TV or radio...
(and experienced an approx. 4.5 earthquake at UCLA)...
I have heard of at least one major earthquake event in Port Royal
in Jamaica.
Sorry I can’t give you citation, but one of the documentary series
on The History Channel included an earthquake the sunk a fair bit
of Port Royal, Jamaica during the days of the English privateers.
Listening to the documentary it was like an early day version of
the 1906 earthquake (and ensuing fire) of San Fransisco.
