Class is cancelled today because of a tsunami warning. There was an 8.0 earthquake off Tonga this morning at around 4AM. I didn't feel it, but a lot of other people did. The warning was cancelled about an hour ago, but it takes a while for the machine to start up here in Samoa. They are making an announcement in Samoan over the loudspeakers right now, and I am guessing by the cheers outside that classes aren't going to be resumed any time soon today.
