#3 Reports from our team was very little movement of buildings and rubble. No reports of any aid workers, to include the military, injured. Suprising in that there are about 50 people in tunnels at any give time at just the Montana hotel. I hope your Niece is safe and thank her for her efforts from us here at the Burg.

#5 Jeez, what did Haiti do to deserve this?

Being located on the edge of the Caribbean Plate and having fault lines run thru your country has something to do with it.

#7 I had a scientist friend explain it this way.
"Picture a mammoth bulldozer blade pushing a mound of dirt in front as it slowly chugs along,
Well that bulldozer blade is the continental plate, and That pile of dirt is Haiti, Baja California is the same, they are unstable and will be for Millennia to come."
