TSUNAMI IN SAMOA AND AMERICAN SAMOA
territory that is home to 65,000 people, and 125 miles from Samoa. Mike Reynolds, superintendent of the National Park of American Samoa, was quoted as saying four tsunami waves 15 to 20 feet high roared ashore soon afterward, reaching up to a mile inland. Holly Bundock, spokeswoman for the National Park Service's Pacific West Region in Oakland, Calif., said Reynolds spoke to officials from under a coconut tree uphill from Pago Pago Harbor and reported that the park's visitor center and offices appeared to have been destroyed. Bundock said Reynolds and another park service staffer had been able to locate only 20 percent of the park's 13 to 15 employees and 30 to 50 volunteers. The National Park of American Samoa is the only national park south of the equator, a scenic expanse of reefs, picturesque beaches, tropical forests and wildlife that include sea turtles and flying foxes, a type of fruit bat. Residents in both Samoa and American Samoa reported being shaken awake by the quake, which lasted two to three minutes. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a general alert from American Samoa to New Zealand; Tonga suffered some coastal damage from 13-foot waves. Mase Akapo, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in American Samoa, said at least 14 people were killed in four different villages on the main island of Tutuila, while 20 people died in neighboring Samoa. The initial quake was followed by at three aftershocks of at least 5.6 magnitude. An Associated Press reporter saw the bodies of about 20 victims in a hospital at Lalomanu town on the south coast of the main island, Upolu, and said the surrounding tourist coast had been flattened, with the dead including those who hesitated to leave right after the quake.Pages: 1 [2] 3 4

Frequency Following in Brainwave EntrainmentFrequency Following in Brainwave EntrainmentAuthor: Veda KalidasBrainwave entrainment utilizes binaural frequency harmonics to achieve altered states of consciousness quickly and easily in the human mind. Fundamentally this technology works through two different oscillating frequencies interacting to produce a third frequency known as the binaural beat. The resulting binaural beat is a frequency that is too low for human ears to perceive but that the brain nonetheless will respond to. For example, if two frequencies 400 Hz and 410 Hz are played through stereo headphones to the right and left ears respectively, then a binaural beat of 10 Hz will be perceived within the brain. |
