LONG BEACH - For Pita Taase, the tsunami that devastated the Samoa Islands came on the heels of another family tragedy.
His parents, who live in American Samoa, had traveled to Long Beach last week because their newborn granddaughter was experiencing medical complications.
The baby, Taase's niece, died Monday, the day before a tsunami hit Samoa and American Samoa, where his family has numerous relatives, Taase said.
