The United States Geological Survey recorded a series of aftershocks, fourteen of them between magnitudes 5.0 and 5.9. The International Red Cross has stated that as many as 3 million people have been affected by the quake, with as many as 100,000 deaths according to the prime minister.<br /><br />Could it be the node ring of the astroid that caused the quake in Haiti ?

Apophis on its 2029 close approach will become as bright as magnitude 3.3 and so visible to the naked eye.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />Ciao,<br />ErnestoTeamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02981084132870887939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163493865891948082.post-76442891202005378512010-01-12T21:20:31.275+01:002010-01-12T21:20:31.275+01:00@Jenny
