Three months after a devastating earthquake ravaged much of Haiti, Katie Couric returns to this island nation and reports on the ongoing progress of the prolonged restoration efforts there.

Januay 13,2010 :Wednesday at 4:17am a 3.9 magnitude earthquake shook the middle of the Swan Range in Montana. The closest town to the epicenter was Seeley Lake, which was situated 23 miles to the southwest. It was felt as far away as St. Ignatius Montana, but most folks we spoke with in Seeley Lake slept through it. One resident felt and heard the whole thing. Donna Love said, “The noise was first like a log truck had pulled up to our house and muffled from inside. But it was very loud. And then our bed just gave a little bounce. Then the wall creaked up by the ceiling along with a scratchy noise. And then the log truck drove away.” The magnitude measurement is not a linear scale, but an exponential one. To put it into perspective, the 7.0 earthquake in Haiti was almost 1000 times stronger than the 3.9 quake near Seeley Lake. Minor earthquakes like the one felt this morning happen often. According to Michigan Tech, it is estimated that 30000 earthquakes of this magnitude happen worldwide each year.
