haiti quake
haiti has just been hit by a 7.0 quake. epicenter 10 miles out of porto-prince. possible tsunami for cuba, bahamas & dom rep.

this is awful. prayers for all in the area.
maybe we fodorites can start a fund to contribute. these ppl needed help before.

Horrible news. I have friends from there that live in T&C, and can't find out if their children are alright.

Please post if you find how to help.

Americans seeking info on family in Haiti can call toll free 1-888-407-4747.

I hope they are alright, blamona.
