The cathedral in Port-au-Prince; the destruction is immense. Worshipers are camped out around the building throughout the day and night, although I'm uncertain what they pray for.
We've been having a lot of aftershocks lately. I'm not a seismologist, so I can't say for certain that's what they are, but they seem to come at night and violently rip you from your sleep. Night after night they've been getting stronger and stronger making me consider things before I go to sleep at night, like do I have a clear path to the door? How many steps is it to the exit, and what if anything should I bring with me? What are the alternate ways to outside and how do I get to them? I've seen too many flattened buildings, to include hotels, not to have these weigh heavily on my mind.
I leave on Thursday morning.
