Yesterday my phone rang, “Did you feel the tremor? I’m checking with you because no one at my house believes me.” Of course I felt it, I answered. No one believed me at my house either.
It’s amazing that I being in Belize, thousands of miles away felt a slight shake of the devastation that happened in Haiti. The earthquake, with a magnitude estimated at 7.0, struck Haiti Tuesday just before 5 p.m. about 10 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince. Haiti is the poorest nation in that hemisphere, and such a hit surely will increase the people’s suffering for time to come.
