The country does not handle things really well at all, it's far behind it's neighbours.

Possibly on the worst locations for such an event to happen in that area.

Did anyone feel the quake, or does anyone live close by?

Would have at furthest been felt by Dominican Republic, Eastern Cuba or Jamaica, possibly.

Such a sad event almost similar to the tsunami from some years ago.

This disaster really puts my troubles of the last 12 months into stark perspective.......................God help them all

On top of the recent chlorea outbreak, they're not staring at this, which is going to a minimum of a category 3 and real, real trouble for many still sleeping in tents or indeed in any form of unsecured building.

You can't make up this luck like, its an unprecedented hurricane forming where its formed at this time of year and it looked to be sailing past until suddenly, something seems to suck it towards potentially Port-au-Price.

A [Poor language removed]'s luck and no mistake. I worry though, it's a nasty one if that hits.

Really makes you think, that we don't have it that bad, even when it sucks.

I remember getting drenched in Cuba from a pretty innocuous Tropical Storm, next day I turned on the news and seen that it had killed over 5,000 in Haiti. It's shocking, there is just no structure over there to handle anything.

If a category 4 rips into it direct, I really fear for them.
