Another Haiti Earthquake Brought on by 6.1 Aftershock

The last thing that Haiti needed right now was another earthquake. Yet today, Haiti was struck by another earthquake that was almost as powerfull as the previous one. As A Matter Of Fact, the strength of the aftershock was up to 6.1 on the Richter scale, just .9 less than the 7.0 that ravaged the country. The death toll and casualty brought on by the 6.1 Aftershock can't be as bad as last week's quake, there isn't alot of things standing from the last earthquake that can be destroyed. But in Haiti, another quake extends the seemingly unending nightmare.

Since this was rather an aftershock, and thankfully not a full blown earthquake, the damage shouldn't be as extensive. Even So regarding how Haiti has barely cleared up the damage from the last quake, more earth tremors are not welcome - specially ones that rate a 6.0. The official totals for the new casualties is not yet known.the USGS reports that there have been a total of about 40 aftershocks as a result of the original earthquake. However this one today was the largest one, and caused the most damage.
