Tens?

This is horrific. They're claiming 500,000 or more people may be dead.

There are a bunch of Haitian gamblers who frequent the OTB on 241st Street here in the Bronx. I almost never go to that one because it's way on the other side of town from me. But I stopped in yesterday afternoon because I was driving by and there was a horse that I liked at Aqueduct (of course she lost ohwell ). Anyway, this is normally a very loud, very friendly, very demonstrative group of people. Yesterday, these middle aged and even old men were openly weeping. It was heartbreaking to see.

I know that Jersey has a very large Haitian population, as does Brooklyn and the Wakefield section of the Bronx. So this hits very close to home for a lot of people in this area. It's very, very sad.
