CYCLONE IN AMERICAN SAMOA LIST MANY LOSS

The Samoan government has declared a state of disaster after Cyclone
ravaged the South Pacific nation, destroying buildings and causing
flash floods.
Police in Samoa say a number of children are presumed to have drowned
after being swept away in a flooded river after the cyclone hit.
Evan made landfall yesterday and caused widespread damage across the
country, killing at least two people, cutting power, causing flooding
and ripping trees out of the ground.
Locals say it is the worst storm to hit the region in recent years and
a state of disaster has been declared.
There are now fears the storm couldintensify to a category five
cyclone as it tracks across the north of Tonga and then moves onto
Fiji.
New Zealand's high commissioner toSamoa, Nick Hurley, says police have
told him a number of children went missing near the main river in
Samoa's capital Apia.
"This is the biggest one I've been through and I've been through
difficult situations in the Pacific (before)," Mr Hurley told Radio
NewZealand.
"The unpredictable nature of this one has made it quite different.
Theforecast winds did not give any indication of how strong the impact
was going to be."
Many places in Samoa have only justrebuilt after being devastated by a
tsunami in 2009.
"Power is off for the whole country... Tanugamanono power plant is
completely destroyed and we might not have power for at least two
weeks," the Disaster Management Office (DMO) said in astatement.
It said hospitals and other essentialservices were using standby
generators, with water supplies also out and most roads cut off by
fallen trees and power poles as hundreds of people languished in
evacuation centres.
In travel advice, Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs said the
cyclone had caused "damage to local services and infrastructure,
including communications and electricity services and Faleolo
International Airport".
"The Australian High Commission in Apia has closed until further
notice due to storm damage," it said.
The United Nations says international aid groups are ready to help if
needed, with damage fromthe cyclone worse than expected.
Cyclone track
Evan continues to move north west away from Apia, but its progress has
slowed to just under 10 kilometres per hour.
It was around 70 kilometres off thecoast and is forecast to reverse
itscourse later this evening, although it is not known if it will
again cross Samoa.
The Fiji Meteorological Service has warned the cyclone could threaten
northern parts of Tonga on Saturdayand reach Fiji by Sunday.
Authorities in Fiji have gone into emergency preparation as the
cyclone threatens to head towards the country.
Fiji's weather bureau says the storm could eventually become a
category five cyclone - packing winds at its core of 360 kilometres
per hour - and on its current path would hit both of the nation's main
islands.
