A trough over Samoa has caused flooding on highways in American Samoa and also caused at least one mudslide in Utulei, behind a high school.
A flash flood warning has been issued and residents near streams and low lying areas have been told to take precautions.
The principal of Nuuuli Vocational Technical High School has sent students home because of the extent of the rain.
Meanwhile ballot boxes for Manu'a left early this morning on the Segaula vessel, along with election officials.
