Yesterday, before I went to sleep my eye fell on a post in my twitter feed. It said “According to USGS a 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti“. I never witnessed a real earthquake, so I don’t know what being in an earthquake is. The biggest ones we get are around 3.5 and they are quite rare. They are a result of gas mining and nothing like the big ones people in the Americas have to endure.
I retweeted the tweet and asked my friends on Facebook for prayers. I said a prayer myself and went to bed. I don’t have a TV so I haven’t seen any footage of the Haiti quake. But I get really sad when I hear that the death toll is rising above 100,000 victims. I can’t help looking up and ask the age-old question: Why?
