That country can’t catch a break. It’s like God shouting at the world, “Don’t live in Haiti!”

damn, the 2010 earthquake that fucked up Haiti so bad was 7.0. I know other variables factor in (depth, location, soil etc...) but this could be bad.

Location is the key difference here

Here are the locations of the two Haitian big quakes (2010 (grey) and 2021(orange)😞

Cue the rebar lectures.  Building with rebar is analogous to taking the Covid-19 vaccine if you think about it.  

The country is already in chaos. An earthquake and a hurricane won't help.

Not great news 

 

Building codes seem on par with Miami. 

Is Grandbaby Doc going to take power soon and fix things?  Papa Doc and Baby Doc need someone to carry the torch of competent leadership to help Haiti rise again!!

Says the dude that tries to turn everything CR.

I thought I was the dude that tries to turn everything to Seinfeld?  
 

Rebar is Cloak Room now?  Did I miss a meeting?  Whenever something bad happens in Haiti, we're reminded of their shitty building practices.  Nothing political about that.

Depends on if you think jet fuel can melt it.

Haiti was an inside job!

This is our concern, dude. 

Wyclef about to get paid again. 

Just came off a call. Pictures suck. At least 300 dead. Team mobilizing in VA and FLA to head down. I don't get to work this one. Reports are big parts of the city look like this.

Wow.  That place seems cursed. 
 

What do you do, Inka?

humanitarian shit Bro. Food security and rapid response. Right now I am Africa focused. Used to run a rapid response group on a FEMA contract for overseas shit. 

And it is. Hard place to work, but great rum. 

Don’t worry guys.  Hillary and Bill are on their way to help.
