RE: Earhquake
I was 7.3 in the Richter scale with epicenter in Haiti. That's a pretty big one...

RE: Earhquake
Wow,

My girl's family are from Cabarete and Sosua is nearby where I have most of my friends... My mother is from Puerto Plata. Were those areas hit as well or was it more in Haiti? I was discussing Earthquakes just the other day on an article we were commented on.

RE: Earhquake
Lets hope this doesn't become another human catastrophe, but it has the looks of it. This magnitude 7.3 can bring down buildings and cause landslides as well.
