50th Anniversary of Anchorage Alaska Earthquake

[one...two...tree 2,762]

The largest in North America in the Twentieth Century..9.2 on the Richter Scale. It created a tsunami tidal wave that hit the coastlines of Alaska, British Columbia, Hawaii and Japan with a 27 foot ( 8.2 m) wall of water. The ground moved as much as 8 feet in some places, and Valdez harbor had an underwater landslide. 164 people died.
