That surely has tsunami potential?

It looks like the earthquake was on a transform fault. Such faults, unlike the huge thrust faults you have in subduction zones, tend to have mostly horizontal rather than vertical movement and so pose less of a tsunami risk.

It was fortunately centered in the ocean partway between Jamaica and Cuba, otherwise I suspect it would be a far worse issue for affected areas. The USGS's PAGER for both economic losses and fatalities is green.
