60 km (35 miles) WSW of PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti

10. Just announced on news here, too

I hope people are okay. How scary for the people there. It's awful.

12. This is terrible ......

There may be aftershocks for at least a year, maybe longer. Some of them will be sizable. The only hopeful thing right now is that the magnitudes will diminish over time. That is the way it was here after the earthquakes that were a large magnitude, and they were nothing like what happened in Haiti.

This is tragic. What in the world are the people going to do? If you want to follow the aftershocks and learn more about earthquakes in general here is a link to the Cal Tech Worldwide earthquake center where they track earthquakes as they occur and post the magnitudes.

I don't know for sure how often they update, but it is a good way to keep track of what is happening all over the world.
