January 13th, 2010
Yesterday started out like any other Tuesday just outside Port-au-Prince until a little before 5 o’clock. I was walking home from work when I began to feel the Earth rattle under my feet. The shaking intensified causing me to lose my balance. While recovering from my fall I looked towards the city and witnessed buildings crumble before my eyes as plumes of dust and smoke rose from the area. Worried about my family, I ran home. The ground shook even more but not like before. I was not expecting to see the city in such chaos or disrepair. The earth appeared to have opened up and swallowed whole roads and buildings. I was able to find my family and they were safe, but there is a large loss of life.
