Killer Quake Shakes Haiti

When nature takes its toll everyone will be left shocked and dismayed. Its fury knows no limitation but dominance. That's exactly what happened yesterday in Haiti.

The quake, which is said to be the strongest to hit the nation in more than 200 years, has shattered numerous homes, collapsed a hospital, injured many, and killed thousands of people. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the killer quake had a preliminary magnitude of 7.0 and was centered about 10 miles west of the capital of Port-au-Prince, 5 miles beneath the ocean surface.

Another sad thing is that there are Filipinos trapped inside the destroyed buildings in the impoverished nation. Some Filipino peacemakers and overseas workers are reported killed while others are still missing.
