Earthquake in the North, None Hurt - Inside Israel - Israel News - Israel National News

Hey! I didn't feel a thing!

There was an earthquake in J'lem a few years ago, back when I lived there. I remember I was in bed and then the bed just kinda went like a wave passed through it. That was scary. It only occurred to me later that maybe I better get out of the house or go near a door post or something.

Another Earthquake Hits Haiti

By PAUL HAVEN and MICHELLE FAUL, Associated Press Writers Paul Haven And Michelle Faul, Associated Press Writers – 7 mins ago

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – A powerful new earthquake struck Haiti on Wednesday, shaking rubble from damaged buildings and sending screaming people running into the streets only eight days after the country's capital was devastated by an apocalyptic quake.

The magnitude-6.1 temblor was the largest aftershock yet to the Jan. 12 quake. The extent of additional damage or injuries was not immediately clear.

Wails of terror rose from frightened survivors as the earth shuddered at 6:03 a.m. U.S. soldiers and tent city refugees alike raced for open ground, and clouds of dust rose in the capital. ...more at yahoo news.

Last Post on Haiti

.
While meandering through my bookmarked websites, I saw this at BF IR Marriage EZine.

Yes, I know its suppose to be an IR love story, but the chilling statement that the doctor said in the last few seconds of the video frightened me! Are unnecessary amputations being done because there is a shortage of equipment?

Because It Won't Get Reported...

.
(or get reported in an underhanded way such as this:)


More good news..

Even more at Jewish Odysseus blog.

Oy! One day......one day......

sometimes I lay
under the moon
and thank God I'm breathing
then I pray
don't take me soon
cause I am here for a reason
sometimes in my tears I drown
but I never let it get me down
so when negativity surrounds
I know some day it'll all turn around
because
all my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
for the people to say
that we don't wanna fight no more
they'll be no more wars
and our children will play
one day ......

Organizations helping Haiti

.
If you want to help, there are a list of organizations accepting donations for helping Haiti. The number dead is staggering. Its hard to post --much less think about it.


(It makes me enraged to hear the things Pat Roberson and Rush Limbaugh have said in regards to Haiti. Crazy!)


thank you Israel for its relief efforts.

Haiti in Devastation!

More set backs. **sigh**

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – The strongest earthquake in more than 200 years rocked Haiti on Tuesday, collapsing a hospital where people screamed for help and heavily damaging the National Palace, U.N. peacekeeper headquarters and other buildings. U.S. officials reported bodies in the streets and an aid official described "total disaster and chaos." more here.

Most of my mother's family are in Cap Haitien which is far far away from the earthquake zone. My father's side are in Port au Prince. Waiting for news...
