A Tsunami that was generated from yesterday's earthquake near Samoa left 63 people dead and dozens missing.  The 20-30 foot waves are said to have surged 100 yards inland before subsiding back into the ocean and a source from the Associated Press say that there are no buildings standing in the village of Sau Sau Beach Fale. 

The U.S Coast Guard is sending aid to our Polynesian brothers and sisters, but Hawaii families who wish to help the Samoan community can donate money directly to the American Red Cross
