Pago Pago, AMERICAN SAMOA — A family in Afao barely escaped with their lives Wednesday evening when a landslide came down near their home around 5pm during the heavy rains.
“I heard a roar like water gushing and then I heard the glass louvres breaking from the back room and saw dirt flying past our bedroom window,” said the homeowner. Luckily, no one was hurt.
Numerous showers and increasing winds are still on the forecast for the rest of the week. Stay safe American Samoa.
