WASHINGTON/WELLINGTON (Reuters) – A powerful 8.0 magnitude earthquake generated Pacific tsunami on Wednesday, killing an unknown number of people in American and Western Samoa and sending others fleeing for higher ground, officials said.
An official of the U.S. National Park Service said there had been deaths in American Samoa, but there was no word on how many. Similarly, a local police spokeswoman in nearby Western Samoa said the tsunami had killed an unknown number of people there.
A father of a finder used to live in Apia, Western Samoa. That family resides in Santa Clara, CA. As per a New Zealander (via a brief report on CNN), a hotel (in Pago Pago, American Samoa) was completely demolished.
