Haiti and the Dominican Republic share the same island. Why is the press only reporting Haiti????
The epicenter was only about 6 miles from Port-ou-Prince. It sounds like the cities of the Dominican are further away and not as impacted. I saw one youtube of Dom. Rep. with a fire truck next to a fancy high rise and folks milling about. Didn’t see any damage.
What I did see was the stark contrast. In the Dom. Rep. lots of shining glass and metal tall buildings, well-dressed folks, orderly and wide streets. Quite the contrast to Haiti. Oh - the nicer buildings probably withstood the quake(s) better as well. (But mainly the distance).
