Another Haiti Earthquake
Earthquake Damage in Port-au-Prince
Haiti was struck by what seems to have been a 6.1 earthquake this morning:
Aftershock Strikes Unstable Haiti, Shaking Buildings
(Jan. 20) — A 6.1-magnitude aftershock rattled Haiti early Wednesday morning, shaking already-unstable buildings and sparking panic among the many homeless survivors of last week’s devastating quake.
The new quake hit at 6:03 a.m. (1103 GMT) about 35 miles (56 kilometers) northwest of the capital of Port-au-Prince, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The tremor was the strongest aftershock since the debilitating 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck the island nation Jan. 12.
The aftershock sent Haitians sleeping in the streets or living in “tent cities” around Port-au-Prince running away from crumbling buildings, according to a Reuters report. A nurse at a hospital near the capital told CNN that patients began to pray as the ground shook. The extent of the damage remains unclear.
The devastation from last week’s earthquake continues to loom over Haiti, where an estimated 200,000 people died and another 250,000 were injured. The approximate 1.5 million people rendered homeless remain in dire need. http://www.sphere.com/2010/01/20/aftershock-rattles-unstable-haiti/19323804/?icid=main|htmlws-main-n|dl1|link3|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sphere.com%2F2010%2F01%2F20%2Faftershock-rattles-unstable-haiti%2F19323804%2F
Haiti has had many problems, and it appears that they may have once again increased.
Followers of biblical prophecy realize that earthquakes are one of the signs that are associated with what Jesus referred to as “the beginning of sorrows”. My prayers remain with those in Haiti.
