Tropical Cyclone Grace Hit Haiti Days After a Deadly Earthquake

Miyamoto said he saw the quake-stricken area recover more strongly. He said masons and others improved building practices after the destruction of Port-au-Prince in the 2010 catastrophic earthquake. People there felt the earthquake on Saturday morning and rushed west about 75 miles into the street, but there were no reports of damage in the capital.

“The Port-au-Prince building is much better than it was in 2010. I know that,” Miyamoto said. “That’s a big difference, but that knowledge isn’t widespread. The focus is definitely on Port-au-Prince.”
