"The Good Friday Earthquake (also called the Great Alaska Earthquake) of Friday, March 27, 1964, was the most powerful earthquake in U.S. and North American history. As of 2006, it remains the third most powerful earthquake measured in modern times anywhere in the world. The magnitude 9.2 earthquake, which resulted in 131 deaths, was centered in Prince William Sound off the coast of South Central Alaska. The powerful earthquake also caused some parts of Alaska to be liquefied, causing much damage to property and leading to landslides." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Friday_Earthquake Aug 04 06, 10:39 AM
