Earthquake and Tsunami in New Zealand
Yesterday, an earthquake measuring 8.0 on the Richter scale hit the New Zealand coast. One hour later, a tsunami warning was issued for the Pacific islands from New Zealand to Samoa. AP reported this morning that at least 82 people have lost their lives after tsunami waves swept ashore on the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.
Entire villages have been wiped out, and dozens of American Park employees and volunteers are missing.
