OFFICIAL NWS OBS.

Heavy showers fell on the territory from an active trough of low pressure over Samoa. More than 2 inches of rain fell between 330 pm and 430pm which caused rapid flooding of low lying areas and triggered some land slide in areas previously affected by the heavy rain of May 19, 2003.

What these are

Flood
Flooding that develops more slowly than a flash flood: rivers leaving their banks, or water standing over land for an extended time.

After NWS Directive 10-1605, the rules offices file Storm Data by.
