From the NWS Advisory Page for American Samoa:
"A TSUNAMI IS A SERIES OF LONG OCEAN WAVES...WHICH ARE NOT SURFABLE."
Glad you could clear that up, National Weather Service. Just a couple of small waves have been reported so far. Still no all-clear for the island.
UPDATE: No damage occurred on the island. There were waves 3-4' tall that hit at low tide, so everything was fine. Thanks for asking.
