Haiti and Earthquake - A huge powerful earthquake has rocked the Caribbean island of Haiti lately that was calculated to be a 7.3 on the Richter scale.

The massive earthquake was considered to be the fiercest to shake Haiti although minor quakes are somewhat ordinary in the Caribbean.

Tallying the reports, the president's official residence broke down literally following the huge earthquake that hit the area together with numerous edifices situated in the country's capital of Port-au-Prince.

A health facility or hospital was crumbled caused by seismic vibrations with accounts of people being entombed underneath the wreckage. Thousands of people were feared buried under the debris or were left dead under the piles of concrete. Casualties are overwhelming and lot of people are missing.
