7.2 magnitude earthquake hits near Haiti
What you need to know:
- A 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck near Haiti on Saturday morning.
- The US Geological Survey is now estimating "high casualties" and widespread disaster.
- The earthquake was about 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) northeast of Saint-Louis-du-Sud and 13 kilometers deep, according to the USGS.
The epicenter of today's 7.2 magnitude earthquake near Haiti is approximately 60 miles west of the fatal 2010 Haiti earthquake, according to CNN supervising meteorologist Brandon Miller.
The devastating 2010 7.0 magnitude earthquake in Haiti struck on Jan. 12, 2010. The death toll from that quake is estimated at 220,000-300,000 people, with an additional 300,000 injured. One and a half million people were initially displaced, and more than 32,000 remain displaced as of January 2020.
Today's quake was farther away from the capital of Port-au-Prince and the most populated areas in Haiti.
Initial CNN weather calculations show about 2.5 million people living within 50 miles or so from the epicenter. For comparison, the 2010 quake had roughly 6.5 million people living within 50 miles.

The western world would like for you to believe this when in fact they're just tuned in with Africa and very independent.
