Breaking News: Another 6.1 Earthquake in Haiti

The island nation of Haiti has suffered another earthquake, or aftershock as some have called it. It measured 6.1. The quake hit at 6:03 a.m. about 35 miles northwest of the capital Port-au-Prince. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, it struck at a depth of 13.7 miles, but was located too far inland to trigger a tsunami.

The quake reportedly shook buildings and sent people running in the streets, screaming only eight days after the island was devastated by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake that killed approximately 200,000 people.

It was not immediately clear what additional damages, if any, the new quake may have caused. God be with the people of Haiti in this time of great sorrow.
