Rebuilding Haiti: Still a work in progress. Five years after a 7.0-earthquake shattered Port-au-Prince and most of its surrounding cities, Haiti is still struggling to rebuild amid a political crisis and disappearing donor funding.
The major earthquake that struck Haiti Tuesday may have shocked a region unaccustomed to such temblors, but the devastating quake was not unusual in that it was caused by the same forces that generate earthquakes the world over.his is called a subduction zone. Another unfortunate factor in the intensity equation for Haiti is the infrastructure involved. The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake that struck San Francisco just before Game 3 of the 1989 World Series was also about a 7.0-magnitude quake.
