Two Haitian hotels are reported to have partially collapsed in the approximately 7.0 earthquake which struck around 5pm EST on Tuesday. Many aftershocks have contributed to the damage. At least 15 cruise ships from different lines are in the area, but it is unlikely that ships at sea were affected in any way.
The International Red Cross has set up a contact number for those trying to get information about missing relatives living, working, or traveling in the area: 1 888 407 4747.
An American Airlines flight was boarding at the time of the earthquake. It was delayed for a short while pending an inspection, but took off and landed in Miami. The Toussaint L'Overture Airport is reportedly closed tonight. The important to budget travel is to plan onward. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the actuality of cost and budgeting is often in the back of our heads. Planning and consuming our travel budget carefully is a main concern for most families. Reducing consuming and charges, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to confirmed achievements and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thinking behind saving money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal finances is highly small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel charge!. Passengers on that American Airlines flight described the earthquake to the Palm Beach Post.Apassenger indicated that the northern part of the island of Haitimay have been spared the worst of the damage.
The lack of electricity and cell phone service in much of Haiti at this time are limiting the usefulness of social media, but there is an active Haiti thread on Twitter. But please be aware - many tweets are asking for donations - please be sure you are donating to official "real" charities. The American Red Cross Disaster Newsroom is providing as much information as possible, andis also accept donations for victims of the Haiti quake.
On YouTube, many video clips labeled "Haiti Earthquake" or similarly titled are also fraudulent or extremely misleading and take visitors to unrelated videos in an effort to get unwarranted hits. CBS has a report (after a commercial):
