02/08/2007 | The strongest in North American history and the 3rd to ever be recorded on seismograph. This quake led to the death of 131 people and "caused some parts of Alaska to be liquefied, causing much damage to property and leading to landslides."
"131 people were killed as a result of the earthquake: nine in the earthquake itself, 106 from tsunamis in Alaska, and 16 from tsunamis in Oregon and California. Property damage was estimated at over $300 million ($1.8 billion in 2006 U.S. dollars)."
