Dear friends,
When I returned in January, I said I had no idea how I lived when so many others close to me died. I may never understand it.

Dear friends,
Without a doubt we have never sent a letter such as this, with so much death and bad news involved — and so much doubt about the future of this country. I was there the evening of January 12, not far from the palace that now lies in ruins, as does most of what was the city of Port-au-Prince. I was asked by a report what it sounded like, and I said it sounded like hell coming. It lasted maybe only 30-45 seconds, but in that amount of time the destruction was complete. I have since read that it was 35 times more powerful than the first bomb dropped on Japan.
