AP reports: The U.S. Geological Survey reports that a magnitude 7.0 earthquake has rocked Haiti. The quake at 1:53 p.m. PST was centered about 10 miles from the capital of Port-au-Prince. The Associated Press reported that a hospital has collapsed. A local tsunami watch was issued for that part of the Caribbean, but the warning from the Pacific Tsunami Watch Center said a widespread threat ”does not exist based on historical earthquake and tsunami data.”

    Interesting note: Fox News and MSNBC too busy hurling flaming political spitballs to carry actual news. And that is simply pathetic.

    To say CNN is owning this story would be an understatement…

    the videos are so upsetting. the devastation is unbelievable. i feel so bad for them. i hope they are able to assess the damage to the airport, and provide aid asap. it was just awful.

    FOX has a link up on how you can send aid. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,582902,00.html
