Yeah, 5.8 in CA is not so bad with good building codes but in places that are not used to earthquakes and don't have the same rigorous building codes they can be pretty bad.

Thank goodness the Caymans are a lot more resilient to acts of nature and their government has a lot more money than Haiti. Was there a couple years ago after a series of hurricanes had flattened the landscape, but because of all the foreign money they have, they were able to get things rolling again.
Other places in the Caribbean wouldn't fare as well, Honduras and Belize are also pretty poor countries, hopefully they'll be safe from any siesmic activity.
