A 6.1-magnitude aftershock hit Haiti at 6:03 AM today. The U.S. Geological Survey reports that the epicenter was about 35 miles west-southwest of Port-au-Prince and about 6.2 miles below the surface of the earth. American Baptist missionaries working with victims of last week’s quake all report being safe. Dr. Steve James is at Christianville about 25 miles from the epicenter of this morning’s aftershock. Nancy James, some 100 miles north in Haut Limbe, also felt the shaking. Kristy Engel, Ketley and Vitale Pierre are in Port-au-Prince. Madeline Flores is in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
