A tsunami wave three metres or higher hit the beach shortly after the 12 January 2010 earthquake killing several residents. The area was subsided and a large portion of the beach remained submerged.[2] The tsunami reached several hundred yards into the village, destroying several homes, and sweeping several people out to sea, some of them killed.[3]
US Navy Seabees and US Marines arrived at the beach on the 22nd,[4] and will start distributing aid on the 23rd.[3]
