Severe Tropical Cyclone Evan was considered to be the worst tropical cyclone to affect the island nation of Samoa since Cyclone Val in 1991.
The Category 4 storm (maximum sustained winds reaching 211km/h) left a trail of destruction and caused a number of deaths. ASCAT shows the wind (at 10m) above the sea surface (South Pacific).
