Haiti In Ruins

The earthquake that hit Haiti yesterday was pretty devasatating, taking out communications, collapsing the largest hospital in the capital and practically flattening Port-au-Prince, with some two million residents.

NY Times: The earthquake was the worst in the region in more than 200 years and left the country in a shambles. As night fell in Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s densely populated capital, fires burned near the shoreline downtown, but otherwise the city fell into darkness.
