Why didn't anyone tell us!?!...

The nation of Haiti is luckey to be stil standing after what had happend to them just a few days ago. That country was destroyed by an earthquake that measured over 7.0 on the ripter scale. More devestating news has just come in that another yet less minor earthqauke has striked the people onece more. This last one only measured a little 6.0 in the ripter scale.

I understand that there could be an earthquake that comes to out of shape poor country, but what I can not get in my mind is how could there have not been a warning and then a planed evacuation. This is unexeptable to the mind. In the news the President of this South American country stated that he was always devted to making it a lot better in anyway possible, but how could that be if he did not plan out something to prevent at the least the death of the estimated 200,000 people. There should be somewhere they could go, food ready for them to eat, and where to sleep is the minimal. This President can not have been serious about that claim, but I will try to understand.

There is not only an estimated 200,000 deads that are constanty beeing trown in the garbge every day making an discusting smell that roams the city, there are an estimated of 600 Billion $ to repair the country, and 10 Billion $ worth of local damages to the capital.

Never the less, the U.S. is sending in forces to stop the robbery and theaft that is going on there because of he hunger and poverty. The United Nations and many national red crosses have been sent there to provide people with food and a place to spend the night. The U.S. and Canada have been raising money to help these countries that are currently in Haiti now. In Quebec, Canada alone in one day a million six-hundred $ have been raised by the people. The Canadian governement is prepared to dobble anything the people raise.

This is all good, but there is something else that worries me. This is that for sure another earthquake will occur, but will the people be ready for it, and who will help them then.

  1. I like how your blog is neat and clear and I also like how you wrote this blog from first person point of view making it more subjective. :)
