Haiti's ambassador to the U.S., Raymond Joseph, said from his Washington office that he spoke to President Rene Preval's chief of staff, Fritz Longchamp, just after the quake hit. He said Longchamp told him that "buildings were crumbling right and left" near the National Palace. The envoy said he had not been able to get back in contact with officials. The earthquake had a preliminary magnitude of 7.0 and was centered about 10 miles (15 kilometers) west of Portau-Prince at a depth of 5 miles (8 kilometers), the U.S. Geological Survey said. USGS geophysicist Kristin Marano called it the strongest earthquake since 1770 in what is now Haiti. In 1946, a magnitude 8.1 quake struck the Dominican Republic and also shook Haiti, producing a tsunami that killed 1,790 people. It's going to be a r...
PHILADELPHIA - The deadly earthquake that felled much of Haiti's capital on Jan. 12 broke 250 years of strain - a tension that had built slowly across the nearby fault as it resisted the inexorable tug of drifting tectonic plates. Geologists who have studied the complicated fault system in the area say more quakes could follow the disaster, which killed an estimated 50,000 to 100,000, according to the Pan American Health Organization. Often, quakes such as this trigger others nearby in a domino effect, the experts say. In coming years, other sections of the same fault are likely to rupture, threatening not only Haiti but also the Dominican Republic and Jamaica.
Considering that Caribbean nationals - not counting those from the Dominican Republic and Cuba, who are the only two Caribbean groups present in the Americas list - have been contributing to the U.S. since slavery, the dismissal is repugnant. Worse because Caribbean nationals are a majority in NYOs foreignborn population, and the U.S. Census, despite its shortcomings, does have some data on Caribbeans/West Indians. Every other region is listed on the NY Times map except the Caribbean. No surprise since it is the most dismissed and ignored group in all sectors. Largely because Caribbean nationals in the U.S. continue to actively form groups and talk amongst themselves or quickly assimilate as African- American or Asian American or whatever other ethnic group tickles their fancy.
