What the National Weather Service wrote

On the morning of March 26, a landslide was reported on Ta'u Island with large boulders and debris blocking the main road between Fitiuta and Ta'u Village. The landslide made the road impassable in both directions until early afternoon, when local crews successfully cleared the site and restored access. No injuries were reported.

The wider storm

A persistent, slow-moving trough remained over the American Samoa islands between March 26 and March 30. WFO American Samoa recorded a total of 5.45 inches of rainfall during this time. This led to saturated soils that triggered multiple landslides across the territory.

Began near Ta'u (-14.2161, -169.4688).
