"Half of our team has been out at Leogane, which is near where the epicenter was.

“Jay Leno said calling it an aftershock is like calling the second twin an "after-delivery". He is right. No matter how you look at it, we had an earthquake early this morning that was a 6.1.The tremor was really scary. When we arrived at the hospital we found our night crew outside with ALL of the patients. They evacuated all of them. They were amazing!” January 23, 2010
