A 7.2. magnitude earthquake occurred in Haiti at about 8:30 a.m. Saturday morning and several aftershocks have followed. Cities in the southern region — including Les Cayes, Jeremie, Saint Louis du Sud, Aquin, Petit Trou de Nippes, Anse-a-Veau and Cavaillon — felt the strongest vibrations, according to eyewitness accounts. Residents are helping rescue the injured and recover the dead while awaiting help. Some are fleeing towns at high risk for tsunami waves.
