PORT-AU-PRINCE — A 6.1 magnitude earthquake rocked Haiti Wednesday morning, shaking buildings and sending panicked people running into the streets only eight days after the country’s capital was devastated by a previous quake.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake hit at 6:03 a.m. about 35 miles west of the capital, near the town of Petit Goave. It struck at a depth of 13.7 miles but was located too far inland to generate any tidal waves in the Caribbean.
