Tsunami watch for Haiti, Dominican Republic, Cuba after 7.3 mag earthquake |

I wonder why no warning for Florida or South or Central America?

1. Apparently there was a terrible hospital collapse in Haiti. |
|
Many people are trapped alive.

2. Apparently the tsunami warning extends only about 60 miles |
|
out from the epicenter. This wasn't an undersea earthquake and there is no report of a significant land movement into the sea, so it's strictly a local event.
People in south Florida might see one slightly larger wave, but even that is a stretch.
