Well its been a fun year so far. On Jan 4 I cane home to a smoke filled house due to a fish tank fire. And you all know what happened to Haiti. I am pleased to report that the people i deal with are ok. I was worried due to the fact that Jean Bernard's house was on the side of a mountain in the hill above Port Au Prince. The back end of his house is about 15 feet off the ground supported by steel poles. I thought for sure that it would collapse. But no it survived with out much damage but his neighbors home slid down the hill. What ever you have seen on TV is only Port Au Prince the destruction in the south is much worse. These out lying city's and towns have no access to the outside world and will not be reached for weeks or months. Remember all food imported flows through PAP. With no port its going to be very ugly. I have started sending reman soup and other dry goods on flights as it costs about $8 TO SEND A GALLON OF WATER.
I am not sure what started the fire in the tank but I think it was the light heating up the plastic in the pre filter. Or the flame angle got frisky with the flame Gobi. The house is totaled inside. The dry wall will have to come out upstairs and down all soft furniture is destroyed
