Olaf hits outer islands

There are several small islands to the east of American Somoa's main island that got hit much worse from Olaf. Manu'a is the most well known as the iisland where the famous anthropologist Margaret Mead did her ground-breaking research on sexuality and culture.

The islands may have caught a break this time, compared to cyclone Heta last year.
