Not to speak of Grenada, where I heard or half-heard something on the news the other day about 90% of the buildings being destroyed.

What do people on Caribbean islands do about earthquakes? I would think that they can't evacuate, the way U.S.-ers in the hurricane area do. I guess they just hunker down and wait for them to blow over. But then they have had centuries of experience dealing with them.
