Oh Diva, I think except in California, our building codes don't require anything that would stand through a 7+ earthquake either! That is a HUGE HUGE magnitude; it would have been the same kind of disaster anywhere in the world as far as I know.
My heart's just breaking for the Haitians.... and honestly, the practical side of me is horrified. Where does anyone bury a hundred thousand people? How could they even all be identified?
I think it won't be long and the sad vacant eyes will all be pain-filled, as the initial shock wears off...
