A 7.2-magnitude earthquake rocked the Sud area of southern Haiti at 8:29 a.m. local time on Saturday, driving people onto the streets and causing houses to collapse.
There were dozens of aftershocks reported.
The USGS Lind Gee, a geophysicist, told the Sacramento Bee, It s a fairly significant aftershock sequence.
That s to be expected after such a huge earthquake, according to Gee.
Personal Accounts
John McGinness, a former local sheriff, was performing a radio show.
McGinness told the Bee, I tried to be composed and say, I m experiencing something here. This one lasted a little longer than the others, so I started getting calls about the earthquake, asking, Did you feel that? It s probably the longest thing I ve ever done. After that, I ve felt better, but not for very long.
