Photo of Cars and Buildings Crumbled After Tsunami in Samoa

Pacific Island states of Samoa and the American Samoa were just hit by a devastating tsunami just hours ago. Massive earthquake of magnitude 8.0 that formed in the ocean near Samoa islands resulted in a giant tsunami wave that has killed at least 25 people and wiped out several coastal villages.

While there were 25 confirmed death so far after Samoa’s tsunami, the number is expected to rise as there are still many unaccounted for. US president Barack Obama has declared America Samoa a major disaster zone and dedicated a federal relief fund dedicated at helping affected areas.

The seismologists anticipate more seismic activity in the area which could result in more tsunami in and around Samoa islands. The gallery below has more pictures of the devastating tsunami in Samoa.
