The cyclone Amos crosses Samoa and causes floods and damages. It seems that Samoa has been largely spared by Cyclone Amos, which struck the region on Saturday evening as a third class system. Amoz was predicted to directly affect Samoa as a mighty class four system, but it diminished as it awoke. There were no reports of death, but Amos was destroyed after wind speeds of up to 120 kilometers per hr shook the countryside and deluged rains sweeping away the highways.

Meteorology Samoa said that up to 87 kilometers per hr of wind will further influence the land on Sunday, especially the South Upole. Cyclone Amos is to be located about 150 kilometers eastwards of the capitol Apia and about 64 kilometers northeast of the American-Samoa capitol Pago Pago on early Sunday afternoons.

Samoa's Disaster Management Office said there had been significant damages to the coast road, especially on the North Savai'i Islands, and encouraged its inhabitants to use domestic highways. Apia Red Cross said it was estimating the damages. "She said, "The wind was not as strong as forecast and the anticipated damages did not occur.

Ambassador Amos is on his way to American Samoa, but the local government has called off a cyclone alert as windspeed declines.

Rugby Union News | Alama Ieremia to resign as Samoa manager

Al-ama Jeremia has stepped down as Samoa chief coach, told the country's football federation on Saturday. Less than a year after retiring from the last place in the Pacific Nations Cup - a qualifying event for the World Cup. Fiji and Tonga qualified as victors and runners-up for the 2019 World Cup in Japan, allowing Samoa to win the World Cup in a replay against a second division Europe.

The 46-year-old played five times for the now deceased Westsamoa side before being chosen for New Zealand, where he won 30 internationals with the All Blacks. In 2005 Ieremia took on his first trainer position as assistance trainer for the Japan side Suntory Sungoliath.

His spells with the Wellington Lions and the Hurricanes followed before he relocated to Samoa to take the role of trainer and later to substitute Stephen Betham as ceo. "It' very difficult that I have chosen to resign as Manu Samoa's ceo.

"In Manu Samoa, I took on this part in the face of the difficult conditions and evolving profiles and landscapes of the world of the game. "Though the aim was to defeat and establish the World Cup in Japan, the loss of this year' s championship proved too expensive for everyone. "So I' m very frustrated with this result, but as chief trainer I have to take full blame for our results.
