HAITI: devastating earthquakes PORT-AU-PRINCE

A strong earthquake of magnitude 7 caused a disaster in Haiti. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF DEATHS

PORT-AU-PRINCE (AFP - DPA) - The chaos and despair continue to prevail in Haiti, the poorest country of the Americas in less than a day by the devastating earthquake of 7.0 degrees of the scale Richter, who has shaken the island in the Caribbean and caused a tragedy that, according to estimates, could have caused thousands of deaths. The earthquake devastated much of the infrastructure of Haiti and destroyed the presidential palace, ministry buildings and several major hospitals, as well as the UN headquarters. The earthquake, whose epicenter was on land just 16 km from Port-au-Prince, has been caused a great panic in the entire population, while a cloud of dust and smoke caused by the buildings that were crumbling got up in the sky. The power of this disaster was not yet clear this morning, despite the bleak landscape, buildings reduced to rubble, and tens of thousands of people homeless. You are not yet able to estimate the total amount of victims, but you can see thousands of people who have lost loved ones and hundreds of deaths, while powerful aftershocks still shaking this poor nation.
communications are disrupted throughout the country, particularly the Haitian capital has remained practically isolated and without electricity, and this makes it virtually impossible to get a true picture of the damage. The research teams are working to find survivors in the rubble. The airport in Port-au-Prince has been forced to cancel all its operations. The United States ambassador to Haiti said on CNN that this was "a great catastrophe." The government of Barack Obama is preparing to send a detachment of the first humanitarian aid to Haiti, other countries, like the neighboring Dominican Republic, Venezuela and the United Nations Peace Force, headed by Brazil, are preparing to send rescue teams .

Vedic what people say?

Question: Why we should accept the Supreme Lord or His power? - Answer: The rules of material nature are possible with the eyes of the Supreme Lord. These rules are the formation of clouds and subsequent precipitation, according to different seasons, earthquakes and rupture of the mountains, caused by heat and the ebb and flow of the tide, caused by friction. The heat energy and the force of attraction can never be independent. Consciousness is the creator, and energy, as the attraction, are the only standards or rules. Therefore, it is unreasonable to deny the creator, but it is reasonable to accept the rules. (Tattva-sutra 22).
