Wow.
A possibility of a tsunami in a great lake?

I don't believe so. The magnitude of the earthquake 3.4 was rather low to moderate, even though it appears to be shallow. I think any wave or waves would be referred to as a seiche. A seiche (pronounced "saysh") is a series of standing waves in a fully, or partially-enclosed body of water caused by earthquakes or landslides.

I was looking for further information on the type of fault. I don't believe subduction was involved.

We now see the term meteotsunami used in relation to meteorological driven waves or seishes.
