(CNN) — With phone lines down and communication cut, Haitians living in America are “sick with worry” and scrambling for information about loved ones who experienced Tuesday’s 7.0 earthquake on the island nation.

“At this point it looks like it’s worse than we all imagined and we still don’t know specifics because of the down power lines,” Gepsi Metellus said Wednesday. She is the executive director of the Sant La Haitian Neighborhood Center in Miami, Florida, which provides services to Haitians in South Florida ranging from help with taxes to how to navigate the American school system.
