Samoa Earthquake, Tsunami VIDEO: Watch Amateur Footage
|

A massive tsunami triggered by an earthquake swept through Samoa on Tuesday, flattening villages and sweeping cars out to sea. Over a hundred people have been reported dead, and the death toll is expected to rise. Some brave people with cameras took amateur footage of the storm and the aftermath, and we're rounding up those videos, along with footage from local news reports in a slideshow below.

If you see a great video or have photos of the tsunami, press "Participate" below and leave the link to your video in the description section or upload your photo directly. We'll feature your submissions here.

(Editor's Note: The Huffington Post cannot verify the authenticity of these videos. The creators of the videos say they are from the 2009 tsunami and were uploaded on that day.)
