Something is VERY fishy about what's going on in Haiti. Truth is stranger than fiction.
A dozen major earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or greater have occurred in the Caribbean near Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the island of Hispaniola, shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic, in the past 500 years, and several have generated tsunamis. The most recent major earthquake, a magnitude 8.1 in 1946, resulted in a tsunami that killed a reported 1,600 people.

With nearly twenty million people now living in this tourist region and a major earthquake occurring on average every 50 years, scientists say it is not a question of if it will happen but when.
In a new study published December 24, 2004 in the Journal of Geophysical Research from the American Geophysical Union, ... report a heightened earthquake risk of the Septentrional fault zone, which cuts through the highly populated region of the Cibao valley in the Dominican Republic. In addition, they caution, the geologically active offshore Puerto Rico and Hispaniola trenches are capable of producing earthquakes of magnitude 7.5 and higher.
Hispaniola, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands sit on top of small crustal blocks that are sandwiched between the North American and Caribbean plates. The island of Hispaniola faces a double risk: an earthquake from the Septentrional fault on the island itself as the plates move past each other, and an earthquake deep in the earth in the subduction zone on which the island sits. Both could cause severe damage and loss of life, although the researchers say an earthquake in the subduction zone could be more devastating and has the potential to cause a tsunami.

Ten Brink, who is also an adjunct scientist at WHOI, and Lin say stress has increased for the Hispaniola area, and that the potential threat of earthquakes and resulting possible tsunamis from the Puerto Rico and Hispaniola trenches is real and should be taken seriously.

They won't hit California because the PTB are Whites. They just want to kill off as many Third World people(Asians, Blacks, and quite possibly Hispanics later) as possible, first Sichuan, and now this.
Right now, they're doing it slowly because they don't want to leave a pattern(or at least they think they're not leaving a pattern.) However, if I was a Third World country, I would seriously be concerned.

Yet California which is in probably just as much of an Earthquake prone area as Haiti has been silent as far as major Earthquakes for decades?

Let's hope these quakes aren't being used to disguise some alien agenda whereby the meat lockers have to be replenished with the thousands that end up missing and unaccounted for in such type quakes.
Don't think "aliens" would want their "meat lockers" tainted with HIV and other illnesses from Haiti. More importantly earthquakes have been part of the natural order of things for millions upon millions of years right round the globe.
