Hati Region still feeling shaken by Earthquakes

Last week there was a major earthquake that shook Hati and surrounding regions in the Caribbean. Currently the USGS is still reporting that more earthquakes are following in the region causing more destruction. In response to the earthquake government offices such as the National Weather Service have given Hati things such as weather observation stations and also supplies to the region.

Currently it looks like there will be more aftershocks from the Hati earthquake and the region will need to be watched over the next few weeks. Effects of this earthquake could even go on for longer periods of time. When Hati had the first traumatic earthquake it registered at a depth of 13 kilometers in the ground and a magnitude of 7 (as seen in Red in the table above).
