On January 12, 2010, an earthquake measuring at about 7.0-magnitude occured in the carribean island, Haiti. Mostly the area in Port-au Prince was damaged and wrecked, causing people to have no place to live and hide. After the terrible earthquake, they discovered people buried in rubble from buildings and feared 100,000 are dead, but every minute or so the death tolls are rising. Buildings like hospitals, schools, houses and even the white national palace of justice was badly ruined. It was hard for them to rescue them because there were no hospitals and not the right equipment. As everything was ruined, telephone lines and electricity lines were also destroyed which made it hard to send help and communicate to others. It was such a powerful earthquake that people in the Eastern Cuba could feel it strongly.

Nice writing here, Faqeera. You stayed on the big picture very well, providing that kind of look. Your picture was much the same, a big graphic, rather than a zoomed in one.
