Woodring,
This was not the result of an earthquake, even though one can tie this catastrophe to the tremors and the unsettling of the ground by the magnitude of the 12 January 2010 earthquake.

It has been raining in Cap-Haitien and the heavy stone from the mountain top in Carenage rolled down. I have seen this huge stone since I spent several years in the 70s in Carenage.

They have built a wall, however, it seems that velocity and speed which the megastone will travel were not taking into consideration.

The wall gave up and the stone fell on the "Petite Ecole".

The daughter of Dr. Toussaint was killed and also the only daughter of a woman whose child did not want to go to school yesterday morning.

She has lost her mind. Since we still have children at the hospital, we do not know exactly how many deaths this tragedy will cause.

One life is too many...

This information was relied to me yesterday by a friend of 35 years who lives in Carenage and went on the scene.
