Haiti - 7.2 Earthquake

[Neonmoon 38130]

I think it was further away from capital some hopefully less loss of life 

[StruggleBus 3922]

I hait that this happened 

[Neonmoon 38130]

This is potentially gonna be worse for them

[South Austin 52687]

That country can’t catch a break. It’s like God shouting at the world, “Don’t live in Haiti!”

[Neonmoon 38130]

This will buff right out?

 

[Neonmoon 38130]

Not great news 

 

[Pato del Muerto 52866]

Does that not mean that there was an earthquake in the DR?  How large is that island?

[Neonmoon 38130]

Plus a 5.2 aftershock

damn, the 2010 earthquake that fucked up Haiti so bad was 7.0. I know other variables factor in (depth, location, soil etc...) but this could be bad.

Location is the key difference here

Here are the locations of the two Haitian big quakes (2010 (grey) and 2021(orange)😞

Cue the rebar lectures.  Building with rebar is analogous to taking the Covid-19 vaccine if you think about it.

The country is already in chaos. An earthquake and a hurricane won't help.

[Parliament 14369]

Word is it costed tens of dollars of damage.

Really this followed by a cat 5 hurricane = Haitian reset, or GTFO permanently. 

[RomaVicta 30072]

Just so sad. The Haitians can't get a break.

Building codes seem on par with Miami.

Is Grandbaby Doc going to take power soon and fix things?  Papa Doc and Baby Doc need someone to carry the torch of competent leadership to help Haiti rise again!!

Gonna need an assist from the Clinton Foundation.

This might be a good Sugar Baby opportunity.

Says the dude that tries to turn everything CR.

[Guest Lobo]

I thought I was the dude that tries to turn everything to Seinfeld?  
 

Rebar is Cloak Room now?  Did I miss a meeting?  Whenever something bad happens in Haiti, we're reminded of their shitty building practices.  Nothing political about that.

Depends on if you think jet fuel can melt it.

Haiti was an inside job! 

 

"But my engineer went to Port-au-Prince A&M University."

This is our concern, dude.

Just came off a call. Pictures suck. At least 300 dead. Team mobilizing in VA and FLA to head down. I don't get to work this one. Reports are big parts of the city look like this.

Wow.  That place seems cursed. 
 

What do you do, Inka?

[InkaUtexas 26352]

humanitarian shit Bro. Food security and rapid response. Right now I am Africa focused. Used to run a rapid response group on a FEMA contract for overseas shit. 

And it is. Hard place to work, but great rum.
