On September 29 at 6:48 am local Samoan time, an 8.0 magnitude earthquake struck approximately 120 miles south of the Samoan Islands, creating a tsunami that reached the islands within 15 minutes, killing at least 119 people and wounding numerous more. One of my best friends, Neil Lumsden, was surfing an outer reef when the tsunami hit. Read the story I wrote from info he told me about his hectic experience on the TransWorld Surf website. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone suffering from this tragic disaster.
