American Samoa Islands and the vicinity in danger
7.9 massive earthquake in the ocean, about 120 miles from Samoa.
That is about ten times larger than the one in San Francisco that did all that damage. Tsunami warning has just been issued for Samoas. Pray for these poor folks for this thing to not materialize.

Re: American Samoa Islands and the vicinity in dan
Just hear in fact updated to a 8.3.
That is such a large difference from 7.9 and so much more powerful. The watch is now a warning.
