  • Tsunami In American Samoa

    Posted Wed, 09/30/2009 - 21:02 by roypoi

    Our territory has been struck by one of Nature's most powerful disasters, a tsunami. Although most parts of the island escaped without too much damage two areas were hit hard. On the Southwest side of the island the villages Leone to Poloa were all struck by the massive wave(s), as well as the villages of Fagatogo through Satala and still other villages. The number of casualties is still being tallied as more bodies of people who were trapped and caught up by the waters are found. Many more who are currently listed as missing are still being sought.
