Earthquake ^ Flooding ^ Tsunami - Pago Pago, American Samoa, November 14, 2009 -- A complete power generating plant packaged as a set of 54 shipping containers arrived in American Samoa aboard a chartered ship from Singapore. Most were installed the next day at the Satala power plant that was destroyed by the tsunami on September 29, 2009. When linked together, the generators will replace all the 14. 7 megawatts lost at the Satala plant. The rest of the equipment was installed at the island's remaining power plant in Tafuna, where they will relieve the load on that facility. Richard O'Reilly/FEMA.
