Earthquake

Yes, we had an earthquake and it was amazing. Lots of shaking and questioning, enthralled kids but, thankfully, no one hurt and no structures damaged. I was surprised at the magnitude... much greater than the few I had experienced in CA. Now there's a tsunami watch so say a prayer! Thanks.

    Thanks for letting us all know! Praise God for the safety of all at Espwa. I am so sad for those in Port au Prince area-- I expect to see a great deal of tragedy on the news over the next few days.
