Any word on the Dominican Republic? Did the earthquake affect anything there?
or is the earthquake damage pretty much restricted to Port au Prince?

1. So far all I've seen relates to Port au Prince
It was a shallow quake which seems to restrict the area shaken more than a deep one.

3. Thanks! That's good to know that they aren't being ignored.
I was worried that the massive destruction in Port au Prince might be making the world blind to lesser damage elsewhere, kind of like how New Orleans was the focus of Katrina, even though lots of other places were hurt.
