- Syzygies 3y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1964_Alaska_earthquake https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1964_Alaska_earthquake The 1964 Alaska "Good Friday" earthquake is the second most powerful earthquake in recorded history, estimated to have been stronger than the 1700 Cascadia earthquake. In 1970 I wandered the ruins of the original city of Valdez. They relocated up the hill. The next morning, sleeping in our homebuilt camper van, there was a rolling 5.9 earthquake right under us. Yikes.
