More than 1,400 dead in Haiti earthquake as severe weather looms
CBSN
Two days after a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti and killed at least 1,400 people, the situation is growing even more dire. As rescue efforts continue, the nation could face heavy rains and major flooding as a result of Tropical Depression Grace.
Video shows the widespread trail of destruction the powerful quake left behind, with homes and buildings reduced to rubble. Now, dozens of search and rescue teams are desperately digging through mountains of debris looking for any signs of survivors. Good Samaritans used their bare hands to pull a woman and a young boy to safety after they were buried under a collapsed building. But rescuers are now facing a race against time as the tropical depression threatens to bring more than a foot of rain.
