What the record says
NCEI’s account, from the sources it cites.
It is clearly demonstrated that the variations of the shoreline are produced due to tide and atmospheric pressure (due to a rain season in Guadeloupe) which can not be considered as traces of tsunami waves.
Data given above demonstrate that the deep earthquake occurred on 28 November 2007 could not generate a moderate tsunami, and up to now there is no evidence of tsunami manifestation.
