I hadn't really watched the news or heard about detail about the earthquake in Haiti. I had no idea the impact that it had. It was a such a big one to, 7.0 to be exact. I just didn't realize the damage that it not only had on Haiti but accross the world. There were people in Haiti from all over the world. This is definatly a worldwide disaster and everyone is being so careing and wanting to help.
