HAITI EARTHQUAKE FACTS

(courtesy of Wikipedia)

The 2010 Haitian earthquake was a catastrophic magnitude 7.0 Mw earthquake. Its epicentre was near Léogâne, approximately 25 km (16 miles) west of Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti. The earthquake occurred at 16:53 local time (21:53 UTC) on Tuesday, 12 January 2010, at a depth of 13 km (8.1 miles). The United States Geological Survey recorded a series of at least 33 aftershocks, 14 of which were between magnitudes 5.0 and 5.9. The International Red Cross estimated that about three million people were affected by the quake; the Haitian Interior Minister, Paul Antoine Bien-Aimé, anticipated on 15 January that the disaster would claim between 100,000 and 200,000 lives. Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive announced that by 18 January over 70,000 bodies had been buried in mass graves. The earthquake caused major damage to Port-au-Prince and the surrounding area. Many notable landmark buildings were significantly damaged or destroyed, including the Presidential Palace (President René Préval survived), the National Assembly building, the Port-au-Prince Cathedral, and the main jail. The headquarters of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), located in the capital, collapsed and the Mission's Chief, Hédi Annabi, his deputy, Luiz Carlos da Costa, and the acting police commissioner were confirmed dead.

Revel Sunday Service

Revel Sunday is a patronal festival remembering St Breward's patron saint St Branwalader and is held each year on the nearest Sunday to February 14th, but no later. Revel buns are baked to a recipe handed down the generations which are blessed at the normal morning service, then distributed to the congregation at the celebratory service in the afternoon.

IN THE SNOW!

A heavy snowfall, up to 6 inches deep, cut our village off from the outside world for the day - this same snowfall affecting all of Bodmin Moor and other parts of Cornwall. Some photos of the village taken during the snowstorm: All photos by Peter Glaser, St Breward
