I heard it was a 7.4 magnitude earthquake. I know many houses in Haiti must not be made very sturdy. What is the latest news?

Answer
Not sure what the lastest news is, but 7.4 earthquake is strong enough to level just about any city. The now famous San Fransisco earthquake back in late 80's early 90's (not sure when it happened) was I believe only a 6.9 or so.
