PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti—A powerful aftershock struck Haiti on Wednesday, shaking buildings and sending screaming people running into the streets only eight days after the country's capital was devastated by a major earthquake.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude-6.1 tremblor hit at 6:03 a.m. (11:03 a.m. GMT) about 35 miles northwest of the capital of Port-au-Prince. It struck at a depth of 13.7 miles but was located too far inland to generate any tidal waves in the Caribbean.
Wails of terror rose Wednesday from frightened survivors of the apocalyptic quake that struck eight days ago as people as people poured out of unstable buildings.
It wasn't immediately possible to ascertain what additional damage the new quake may have caused.
Last week's magnitude-7 quake killed an estimated 200,000 people in Haiti, left 250,000 injured and made 1.5 million homeless. A massive international aid effort has been launched, but is struggling with overwhelming logistical problems.

This is a media attempt to bring in the whole country of Haiti into the U.S.A. I challenge anyone feeling sorry for the Haitians and telling us to help : go ahead bring some Haitians into your home, feed them etc. Put your money where your mouth is.Talk means nothing.
The media wants to bring more voters for socialism to the U.S.A..We just had a great victory in Massachusetts, where Scott Brown won. The media wants to make sure we have no more victories like that. The media wants to bring in as many foreigners as they can into the U.S.A. and then give them Amnesty so that the democrats will have more voters and so can turn the U.S.A into a socialist 3rd world hell hole.
This is the main reason the media keeps showing what is going on in another country which is of no interest to me.
I don't know if I risk being banned for this but keep in mind that I'm holding back what i really want to say. None of you can handle the truth. I am working on a blog where people can see the truth.
I believe in freedom of speech as that is the only way to get out ideas no one has thought of or which is considered heretical and which could be right like the “world is not flat” etc.,
I see this as the liberal media brainwashing. The media is trying to make the public feel sorry for the Haitians so that we accept the Marxist theory of wealth redistribution and property redistribution (allowing the Haitians into the U.S. our property). What does what happens in another country have to do with us in this country, the U.S.A.?
I am a warrior. I see other countries as competitors or enemies.
to get things in perspective: more than 200 000 dead within one day is much more than any figure for any man made body count for one day during any war. Hiroshima had some 80 000 dead http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiroshima
God bless him.
I will tell him thanks
I agree with you. I praise God for everything good and I blame satan and the evil forces for every suffering? People have asked me why and I say “because God gave me everything good in my life, like my children, which proves he wants nothing but happiness for me. Evil is diametrically opposed to that and wants nothing but suffering, deception, and pain. I also believe God is grieving at the suffering in the world more than any of us are.
My friend works with this group. She is flying down in a few weeks. They are currently taking bus loads of food into Port Au Prince and bringing bus loads of people back to their families in the surrounding villages. Paypal is accepted.
Was this a reason for delaying deployment of the Military?
I completely agree. God is good all the time, satan is bad all the time.
Ha a Strong after shock Struck America yesterday!!!!!
meh...I don’t think he meant it like people think. He said it poorly though. I think what he was trying to say is this, if you mess with the devil, your gonna get burnt. It’s opening the door to him and letting him in. It doesn’t have anything to do with God doing it to them. I don’t know that the devil had anything to do with the earthquakes, sometimes we give him to much credit. But, I’m sure he’s gleeful about the destruction, and death. After all, he is out to kill, steal and destroy.
