This is tragic. But how is the Dominican Republic doing?
They share the island with Haiti. They must have been affected.
Anderson Cooper was broadcasting from Port Au Prince last night and said that the Dominican Republic suffered very little damage. I guess the mountains in between the two took the brunt??? Up until now, most of the reporters and churches offering aid, etc., were flying into the D.R. and driving over to Haiti. The US military is getting the Port Au Prince airport operational again, but they will probably control all flights.

GoogleEarth it.
One can SEE the line dividing the island by the vegetation!
