A massive earthquake struck Haiti's capital on Tuesday. Associated Press journalists based in Port-au-Prince said the damage from the quake - the most powerful to hit Haiti in more than 200 years - is staggering even in a country accustomed to tragedy and disaster. According to many reports U.S. president Barack Obama has pledged to send aid to the tiny island nation. Offers of support and donations for Haiti are pouring in from all over the world. Local Atlanta DJs are taking donations and collecting canned goods. And members of a LA fire rescue team are deploying to Haiti. The 72-member heavy rescue task force received a request for help from the U.S. Agency for International Development and is gathering at a staging area in Pomona, county fire officials said. The team includes paramedics, search dogs, communication specialists and rescuers who are trained in combing through collapsed structures to find victims.If you'd like to help AID please text Yele to 510 510 and donate $5 toward earthquake relief.
