The death toll in Samoa from tropical cyclone Evan is expected to rise as several people are still missing.
The only confirmed deaths are two people.
The cyclone passed over the Samoa group a second time last night but it did not cause as much damage on Upolu as the destruction it left in its wake on Wednesday.
Water and power are still out in most parts of the country.
