Re: tsunami warning caribbean

That's a fairly strong quake. For those who don't know, the Richter Scale for the strengths of quakes is logarithmic, not linear. Saw a news bite on abc that said office buildings in Miami had been evacuated. Obviously, low lying structures are most likely to be affected.

Belize and most of the Caribbean countries were also on that warning list - but zero damage.
