    It'll be the shitty shanties that will have killed most of the people. They're packed in there like rats.

    Port au Prince is where most of the damage is according to CNN. They say it was a very localized quake, nothing to speak of in DR or other parts of Hati. Hope all it turns out to be is a story for her to tell..

    Yeah I hope so too. Cuba got rocked a bit but that's about all that was said other than the Port au Prince area.
    The trip was a birthday present from her husband.......she thought she was getting snow shoes. :lol:
