The village Lesa of Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele is washed away and the death toll in the Tsunami in Samoa continues to rise with the figure at 150 as of now – authorities fear the toll would increase once the debris is cleared. Most of the houses are destroyed and there could be many more people trapped beneath the rubble. The storm raged for hardly 10 minutes and razed the buildings to the ground, the waves were 15 to 20 feet high and spread to up to 1.5 miles inland. The warnings had been issued by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii but it appeared so suddenly that people did not get sufficient time to react and save themselves.
