There’s been a 5.0 earthquake off the coast of Cuba. A quake like this could do damage and kill people in a backwards country like Cuba, so we’ll see if anything happens. The quake was also large enough that it was felt in Key West Florida:
Wow! Can't believe we felt a 5.0 earthquake in Cuba all the way in Key West. Hope everyone there is OK. http://t.co/TCR86Im2Gq

Florida was far enough away from the quake’s epicenter that they shouldn’t have seen any damage, just shaken nerves.

No tsunamis will be generated from a quake of this size.
