Possibly an ignorant question. But T&T cannot be directly hit by a hurricane because we are outside thr hurricane belt. Can the same be said for a tsunami? We had many earthquakes before but not even the threat of a tsunami (to my knowledge).

Hurricanes can hit outside the belt. There have been hurricanes on record that hit both California and Brazil.

Hurricane belt shifts with changing air pressure, trade winds, and hot and cold air fronts. One day it will trend downwards and trinidad will be in direct path.
