You might be thinking of Port Royal in Jamaica. It was totally destroyed and largely submerged as the result of an earthquake sometime in the 17th century. This is quite close to Haiti and likely puts perspective to the newsfolks assertion that earthquakes are not common in the area. A subduction zone is int the trenches just north of Hispaniola and there are very active Caribbean plate volcanoes.

Where did you do mission work? Agree about the voodoo. The north side of the island was beautiful and most of the people there very nice. Port Au Prince, wow.

Thanks. My husband and I have gone on short-term teams to the Dominican Republic. Our teams built a school that doubles as a hurricane shelter. Lots of rebar in that building, as well as concrete block around the roof. Not sure how that’s supposed to make it better, but that’s what the engineer told us to do.

We were in La Chappelle (1984, Teen Missions Intl.)
Port Au Prince - what little we saw coming through the airport was pretty scary.

Some ambassador (obviously a lib):
problems:
overpopulation - no birth control
protected aquifers on hillsides were built on.
BUT - the U.N. is there so that is great!
