7.0 on the Richter scale and a tsunami watch has been posted for Haiti, Cuba, Dominican Republic, and the lower Bahamas.
What worries me is that will it affect the western Atlantic (Canary Islands, Cape Verde) volcanoes?
Why is it so hard to get maps showing what direction the ground moved in a quake?
Also, this could affect Pompeii - they found that major eruptions were preceded by at least one large earthquake near it (and there was one last year), it could give that one a nudge, too.
