Reflecting in American Samoa after the storm
A McChord C-17 Globemaster III with a 446th Airlift Wing aircrew sits on the runway at Pago Pago International Airport in American Samoa Dec. 16, 2012. The crew was enroute to Royal Australian Air Force Base Richmond, Australia, in support of a joint operation. Tropical Cyclone Evan had passed over American Samoa Dec. 12-16 causing 6,000 people to take shelter in evacuation centers and $4.1 million in damages to infrastructure. The puddle in the foreground is a result of the rains from that storm system. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Staff Sgt. Jon Polka)
