Earwig says good to go. No concerns from me after reading the sources either.

Files

File:USGS Shakemap – 2004 Les Saintes earthquake.jpg: good, relevant, valid public domain rationale.

Prose

• "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?
• Add WP:ALT text to the image.
• Recommend adding Template:Use mdy dates and Template:Use X English under the short description.

See also

• I do not think Overseas France is necessary; wikilinking overseas department in the lead should be enough.

Refs

• Refs 3 and 7 look to be dead links.

Spot check on refs 5 and 8 show no concerns—they both support their cited content. I have access to ref 5 via the Wikipedia Library.
