U.S. banks and other firms evacuated employees from Miami’s financial district after a major earthquake between Cuba and Jamaica.

Miami residents reported feeling tremors after the magnitude 7.7 earthquake. Workers streamed out of the Bank of America building at 701 Brickell Ave. and the nearby Wells Fargo Center in downtown Miami, and yellow caution tape blocked re-entry to the BofA tower.
