OTD in 1964 south-central Alaska was rocked by a mag 9.2 earthquake, one of the largest ever recorded. It triggered a tsunami that resulted in casualties as far away as California, as well as multiple massive landslides, including onto Sherman Glacier. #GreatAlaskaEarthquake #GoodFridayEarthquake 🧪⚒️
