More on the Tsunami

I see that someone has already made a post on the Tsunami, but I’d like to add some new information. Since this natural disaster devastated Samoa and American Samoa, rescue workers have been looking for survivors, and planes have been carrying air supplies. The UN said it would send an emergency team to the Samoan islands, where villages were devastated and up to 145 people died. The Samoan Prime Minister said that devastation was complete, and that there were some villages in which no house was left standing after the waves that originated from last Tuesday’s earthquake reached the islands.
