Powerful earthquake strikes Haiti again
(20 mins ago)
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, January 20, 2010

A strong earthquake struck Haiti again on Wednesday morning, shaking buildings and sending screaming people running into the streets only eight days after the country’s capital was devastated by a previous quake.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the 6.1 magnitude quake hit at 6:03 a.m. (1103 GMT) about 35 miles (56 kilometers) northwest of the capital of Port-au-Prince. It struck at a depth of 13.7 miles (22 kilometers) but was located too far inland to generate any tidal waves in the Caribbean.

Wails of terror rose Wednesday from frightened survivors of the apocalyptic quake that struck eight days ago as people poured out of unstable buildings.

It was not immediately possible to ascertain what additional damage the new quake may have caused.

Last week’s magnitude-7 quake killed an estimated 200,000 people in Haiti, left 250,000 injured and made 1.5 million homeless. A massive international aid effort has been launched, but is struggling with overwhelming logistical problems.
 
Could that be reminders to those looters and vigilantes?
 
6 is quite powerful for after shock.
since it moving away from the last major one, i guess the stress is now reaching another area, therefore there will be major earthquake at another location in caribbean.

For those god-forsaken place and people in this world.

Good things seldom cums. Bad things cums in pairs. The first time to cause the misery and the second time to end the misery for some.
