On Tuesday a massive earthquake shook Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the world and the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. Everyone was in shock. The quake measured a whopping 7.o magnitude on the richter scale. The epicenter of the earthquake was very near the capital of Haiti, Port-Au-Prince. The quake was only just 6 miles below the surface.
This is Haiti's most grandest building, the presidents palace. The first picture shows the President's Palace standing up tall and erect. Now look at second picture, which shows the destruction made by the 7.0 magnitude earthquake. The President's Palace has been sadly destroyed. Other important buildings have been destroyed, such as the cathideral and the Un Building.
She is one of the many people who have survived the earthquake, but she may be injured. She's probably crying because she has lost all her loved ones, her parents, her sibling and the rest of the of the family. Also she has no place to live once all the rebble is cleared up.

Yes, Brandon, havoc reigned, and many ended up like you described the young lady in the picture. Homeless, no family, lost. Very bad indeed.
