The link shows that there was a local tsunami with fatalities and probably large sinking of land during the M7 Haiti quake. The link has the name of the place wrong; HW checked Petit Paradis yesterday and I just did and it is very far from the rupture; 100 km north. Mike Steckler of Lamont looked into this and it is an error on the video, the actual location is near the west end of the rupture.

Note the tree. It probably would not want to be growing in sea water so we assume this is permanent subsidence. The subsidence (and the tsunami) may be due to some sort of submarine landslide.

Someone may want to look into this harder and see whether this occurred during the original quake or during the M5.9 thrust aftershock.

HW was reading some of the pre-quake scientific publications and past historic quakes in Jamaica and I think Haiti had large tsunamis. The Islands may be there because of thrust component of that plate boundary in those areas. I have not been reading those publications; I am trying to keep working on California for now.
