Major earthquake hits Haiti country

Posted by Parasshuram on January 13th, 2010 in World News | 1 Comment

The biggest earthquake since  200 years rocked Haiti on Tuesday on rector scale magnitude recorded as 7.0 at local time 4.53pm. Onsite witness commented the havoc as “total disaster and chaos” with screaming bodies on the streets.

The effected places include a hospital, National place, and U.N.Peace keeper headquarters. As communications widely damaged its causing impossible in ascertaining magnitude of damage. Electricity was out in most places too.

The poor place is shaken with aftershocks. An un-official source felt like there could be thousands of deaths occurred during calamity. The whole place is practically in dark without electricity and at the same time dark clouds of dust all around.

Its also believed that many still trapped under rubble of collapse. As the communications and phones down, only communication so far is social media such as Twitter. So far the most of news coming on incident is based on second-hand reports only.

The quake is fell in the Dominican Republic, which shares a border with Haiti on the island of Hispaniola. Even in eastern Cuba, houses shook a while but no reports of damage any. Few reports coming from Haiti confirms that the country experienced severe damage.
