Eight days after Port-au-Prince was hit by a devastating earthquake a powerful aftershock hits Haiti. The 6.1 quake caused buildings to shake sending people into the street screaming. The earthquake hit 35 miles Northwest of the capital Port-au-Prince. It struck at a depth of 13.7 miles but was located too far inland to cause any tidal waves.
It is still unclear if there is any additional damage and injuries. Search and rescue teams resume their search with amazing rescue stories. This morning The Today show reported that it is hard to estimate the loss of life as bodies are being buried with out being identified and counted. Estimated totals of the loss have been predicted but we will never know exactly how much.

There is SO much information about the quake and the totals of people injured and people dead keep pouring in. As I said above it is difficult to ascertain if all of these are accurate.
Many fundraisers around the world are trying to help raise money to get Haiti back on their feet. It is unclear as to how much more damage it has caused.
