  |
|
Got this from Google.
WOW
The epicenter of the quake, which was initially reported a magnitude 7.0 off the coast, was located inland, six miles west of Carrefour, and just 10 miles from the capital Port-au-Prince.
An AFP correspondent in the nearby town of Petionville said one three-story building had been toppled, and a tractor was already at the scene trying to dig out victims as people fled onto the streets in panic.
A hospital collapsed near the epicentre, and cries of people within the structure were reported by witnesses.
The quake prompted a tsunami watch for Haiti, Cuba, the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic, the Pacific Tsunami Center said.
A major earthquake, of magnitude 7 or higher, is capable of causing widespread and heavy damage. There was no immediate report of casualties.
Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.

Carrfoure is totally destroyed beyond recognition and the government and there is nobody right now aiding the getting people out of the rubble. The government has no response team in place. So many people are going to die for lack of care and suffering.
Just pray for the souls lost in disaster.

This is a heavy blow for a country that has no infrstructure... If we haitian cannot get our act together after this... I give up....
The death tolls from my perspective will be in the hundred of thousands of people. That is a lof of dead body and be ready to be shocked beyond belief.... my stomach just cannot think about it !!!! We just cannot get a freakin break !!!!
