Tsunami threat high in parts of Caribbean

But even with the warning system in place, Puerto Rican officials worry about offshore fault lines that are just a few dozen miles from the island.

"There will be very little time between the earthquake and the arrival of the tsunami," Huerfano said.

Paul Mann, a senior researcher at the Institute of Geophysics at the University of Texas at Austin, has also studied the region alongside Grindlay. He points to the presence of large slump areas along the Puerto Rico trench which appear ripe to become undersea landslides should a major earthquake happen.
