  WRAL news coverage of Haiti Earthquake 2010

  On January 12, 2010 Haiti was rocked by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. The devastation was enormous. Many countries responded with humanitarian aide, including the United States. Locally, Pediatrician William C. Carr, MD, and Family Physician Lawrence J. Watts, MD, served on the medical mission organized by Global Medical Outreach of Sampson County.

  Watch these two stories to gain insight into what Crabtree and Baker witnessed up close and personal.
