CATASTROPHIC and IMMINENT!

Out of the world’s top 10 worst natural disasters, half of them have been earthquakes. When tectonic plates move, the pent-up energy that is released is so enormous that it is presumed that three of these have claimed the lives of over 300,000 human beings!

In 1556, 1920, and 1976, in three Chinese cities, history has recorded these catastrophic earthquakes, but the western hemisphere has largely escaped any quakes with such a high casualty rate.

The tectonic plates of North America and the Caribbean brush each other near the Island of Hispaniola, which is shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

It’s a very active region, with big quakes in 1751, 1770, 1842, and 1946 leaving enormous devastation, but nothing like what occurred on January 12^th, 2010, when there was a 30-second earthquake measuring 7 on the Richter scale, a magnitude that is considered “major,” but not “great.”

In a given year, like 2010, for instance, there were 16 earthquakes, including an 8.8 magnitude in Chile, the 3^rd-strongest in the past 120 years!

While the international press is uncertain about the death toll from the 2010 Haiti earthquake, numbers vary between 100k and 300k casualties, a travesty. San Francisco, which suffered an earthquake just as strong, reported the loss of life of 63 people, in comparison.

In 30 seconds, some 250k homes and 30k commercial buildings collapsed, turning into deathtraps. The damages were estimated to be $8.5 billion, or 75% of GDP.

The reason that this catastrophe occurred in this way has to do with the lack of engineering, architecture, and building codes in Haiti, the poorest nation in the Americas. The area of the epicenter of the quake is highly dense, and homes are built from cement, dirt, twigs, and can’t absorb these types of pressures. 70% of the country’s residents earn less than $2/day and can’t afford better materials.

Poverty leaves one with very few options, but most of us don’t live in Haiti, but in the West, where access to training, education, and opportunity, as well as orderly government structures, are the best in the world.

Poverty is dangerous, and it should be your highest calling to be wealthy not just materially, but physically, mentally, and spiritually. If you are reading these words in a Western country, you can surely do it!

When the French first occupied this landmass, they brought Africans and turned them into plantation workers, otherwise known as slaves. The sugar industry made Haiti a very wealthy colony, but the French Revolution inspired the Africans to revolt and they became the first-ever slave colony to abolish slavery and become a nation, but the Europeans and Americans didn’t acknowledge them in response to their revolt.

Not having access to capital at normal interest rates brought Haiti to the brink of impoverishment. When this natural disaster hit, it was ill-equipped to handle the international support since its hospitals, roads, and airports also mostly crumbled.

This story ought to inspire you to become wealthy so that you can help yourself, your family, and also the world by example.

Have options and build a war chest of savings and knowledge – you most certainly can!
