Dear Waves,
I heard this on the radio in the car earlier.
The earthquake was shallow thus producing great destruction. But I think that that shallowness of it kept the tsunami effect low (but I am not 100% sure that I heard it right in the car.)
The quake was felt in Santo Domingo and parts of eastern Cuba.

The only good news so far is that a widespread tsunami is unlikely, according to NOAA. Most of the predicted arrival times for a destructive wave have now passed, so the threat from the sea is low.

I have colleagues and students who have family in Haiti. I'm concerned for them.
