Summary:
On January 12th 2010 the horrible earthquake that was the strongest in 200 years struck Haiti. It was 7.0 on the Richter Scale and less than 10 miles from the city Port-au-Prince, in the country of Haiti. Houses were destroyed but some were still standing because there were a lot of pillars in the building and the buildings didn’t collapse because of the toughness of the pillars. Millions of citizens of Haiti were displaced and 86,462 were found dead. In Conclusion, this earthquake was very powerful but people that survived must be very contented that they survived but know people that survived know how to be safe at such enormous quake.
My Thoughts:
I am unhappy because a lot of people died but I think that people should have made more buildings with more pillars in them. For sure it was horrible for people who watched their friends die during the earthquake.
