Haiti Rocked by a 6.1 Aftershock

It was about 6:00 this morning, a 6.1 after shock hit Haiti causing panic as buildings shook and people ran to the streets screaming.

This is the largest after shock since the 7.0 earthquake that hit over a week ago yesterday. The U.S. Geologic Survey said the quake was centered about 35 miles (56 kilometers) northwest of Port-au-Prince and was 13.7 miles (22 kilometers) below the surface. It was too far inland to cause any Tsunami warning for the rest of the Caribbean.

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 struggling with logistical problems, and many Haitians are still desperate for food and water.

God Bless!
