I was looking, I think this is the highest Magnitude since the 1943 quake (1946 over DR).

Noticing several M4 or greater quakes recent days NE coast of DR. Also quite the swarm of smaller quakes just offshore SW Puerto Rico.

Rechecking the Wiki, Puerto Rico has had earthquakes in almost all quadrants including the center of the island. I'm curious to the tsunami risk in the Caribbean compared to the West Coast, particularly the Pac NW and Alaska coasts.
