"the eastern boundary is that of the Lesser Antilles subduction zone" – first mention in the body, wikilink Lesser Antilles subduction zone
"A maximum intensity of VIII (Heavily damaging)" – maybe reiterate that this was recorded via the European macroseismic scale?
"and a college were red-tagged" – red-tagged?
"that occurred about 7 km (4.3 mi) to the northwest of the" – "to the" is unnecessary.
"and wall and roof damage (including at some locations that were damaged during the mainshock)." – this is personal taste but I find it visually unappealing when a sentence ends with parentheses like this; there are two punctuation marks plus the citation. Suggest "and wall and roof damage—including at some locations that were damaged during the mainshock."
"scientists were on scene within several days to investigate." – reads a bit like an upbeat news article; maybe "scientists were on scene several days later to investigate."?
There are a few instances of "sea dropped" – should "sea" be "sea level" here?
