It has been reported that Haiti has been struck with another earthquake today. Today's ground shattering disaster rated in at a 6.0 (last week's devastating quake was a 7.0) and was centered about 36 miles away from Port-Au-Prince. Currently, there is no word on any injuries but quake has caused a slight panic. Some are saying that today's quake stemmed from aftershock from yesterday's quake in the Cayman Islands.
"The United States is sending more ships to Haiti to help with recovery from last week's 7.0 magnitude earthquake, which killed an estimated 200,000 people. This will include a vessel designed to clear debris blocking the main port in the capital, Port-au-Prince. The debris has prevented larger ships with food and other vital supplies from making deliveries. Some damaged buildings in the Haitian capital have been ransacked by people searching for supplies as they await more relief. American troops have been providing security for food and water deliveries. About 3,500 additional U.N. security personnel are also being sent to Haiti to help prevent looting." SOURCE
