On March 27, 1964, Alaska suffered a massive earthquake that caused a tsunami, which was responsible for the death of 131 people. The magnitude of the quake was 9.2 and lasted for five minutes. Property was displaced in a 100,000 mile area after the rupture of Pacific and North American plates near Prince William Sound.75 miles away from the epicenter, Anchorage suffered severe damage and nine lives were claimed by the earthquake and its resulting landslides.
The tsunami caused waves and damages in Prince Rupert, Hot Springs Cove, Zeballos, Amai and Tofino, British Columbia, and visited Port Alberni two separate times, with devastating destruction to homes there.
