Where: Tutuila County, Central Portion
Reported by: OFFICIAL NWS OBS.

A convective cell over central Tutuila dumped heavy showers over the area causing flooding of low lying areas and overflow streams from Nuuuli to Aua. Heavy runoffs and the overflow of streams washed debris onto the road causing traffic jams at Pago Pago from Pago Park to the Canneries were road constructions were suspended for 24 hours. Except for clean-up work and the temporary suspension of road construction no major damages were reported.

What these are
