News is reporting that a 7.3 earthquake just hit the Island of Hati. Hmm. And tsunami watches are being thought about.
I'll post more when more is available.
If I remember my history correctly. That region has had quakes/tsunamis before.
Major Magnitude 7.3 Quake Hits off Haiti
Jan 12, 2010 5:14 PM EST
WASHINGTON - A major magnitude 7.3 quake hit just 9 miles off the coast of the impoverished country of Haiti on Tuesday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
A local tsunami watch is in effect for countries in the area, including Haiti, Cuba, the Bahamas and the Domincan Republic, according to NOAA's Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
The warning notes that a destructive threat does not exist based on historical earthquake and tsunami data, but cautions that waves may be on the way, especially in costal regions. The Associated Press reports that a strong earthquake has hit the Haiti, collapsing a hospital.
