Is there any Tsunami risk?

[DoughtyOne]

With all the global seismic activity, sooner or later I expect the ground to rumble beneath my feet here in Los Angeles.

Like Marley said, Stir it up!

I just got back from a cruise Sunday night from Jamaica, Cayman Islands etc... Glad I missed that by two days.

I was sitting in Ocho Rios on Thursday having a drink.

Huge, but 60-70 miles offshore, so can only hope that damage landside isn’t great.

[txnativegop]

given that it takes what a 4.0? quake to actually be felt I feel sure that there are always quakes in LA.

Not to be technical about it! LOL

[Robert A Cook PE]

Big one. Helps that it was not underneath an island. Jamaica isn’t volcanic though.

[kingu]

Reevaluated to 7.7

[cuban leaf]

We’re even due here in the New Madrid seismic zone. (eastern Midwest)

[rdl6989]

That’s a monster.

[Mount Athos]

quakes below 7.5 don’t usually make significant tsunami unless it triggers a big landslide into water

[kingu]

I’ve been 123 miles from a 7.7, Cuba, Georgetown and Jamaica felt that one.
