Major Earthquake Hits Haiti With Widespread Damage and Tsunami Watch
ABC News: "A major earthquake struck just off the coast of Haiti late this afternoon, reportedly causing extensive damage in the capital of Port-au-Prince, and one aid worker said 'there must be thousands of people dead.'
The quake had a magnitude of 7.0 according to the U.S. Geological Survey, and was centered just 10 miles from Port-au-Prince.
The center was also relatively shallow, less than 10 miles below ground, raising the risk of damage.
Karel Zelenka, a Catholic Relief Services representative in Port-au-Prince, told U.S. colleagues before phone service failed that 'there must be thousands of people dead,' a spokeswoman for the aid group told The Associated Press.
