in wake of the wave












Here are a few pictures of the damage sustained around Pago Harbor. I took these yesterday afternoon as Phill and I drove through town.

The Tsunami that hit a couple months ago broke up and dissipated on the fringing reef across most of the Island, for that portion of the island that isn't protected by 100m of reef...well. Relief efforts are going well, things are moving along, but these things take time.


FEMA is here and is contracting the removal of debris on land and in the water in hopes that marine life and stream systems will rebound in the near future

  1. Danny,

    I think the "no looting" signs are meant for you. The must have thought you were coming back....

    I am excited to watch your blog progress.

    Now, here is the riddle. Was the word "progress" a noun or a verb?
