    Serene Tui Give eyewitness account of Tsunami in Pago Pago

    By genhall  |  Posted September 30, 2009  |  Pago Pago, American Samoa
     

    Serene Tui on way to school gives account as to what happened that morning September 29 when the 8.3 earthquake hit and the tsunami generated afterwards was like. 

     

    Pago Harbor receded until the bay bottom could be seen.  Then a rushing wave approached.  Afterwards, everything seems to bottom out for Pago Pago. 

     

    Interview taken 9 am at Fagatogo.

     

    Standing along the pier on the small alia harbor, damage is seen all around.
