When my wife told me Haiti had been struck by an earthquake I knew it was going to be bad. Ive been there and know what the buildings and citys were like. Worst case scenario.

Already a hell even without earthquakes.

Hope the whether holds back for a-while.
No shelter, very limmited food, probably no drinking water, and a traumitized population.
This is going to take a massive effort, and it has to move fast.
A real Mission Impossible situation that has to be dealt with.

I can assure you the US is responding. Currently the Port au Prince A/P is functioning but only three flights a day. The tower is destroyed. VFR daylight flights only. USAID is responding.
