Have the tsunamis run their course, or are they still propagating?

At 8.9, and with aftershocks of 7.0 - I believe it's the largest quake on record.

The 1964 earthquake off Prince William Sound off of Alaska's gulf was a 9.2

I believe the Chilean earthquake of '64 was a 9.5.

Aftershocks can be larger than the original quake.

Go to USGS.com or Cal Tech in California they have loads of information on earthquakes.

Makes you wonder if this is the beginning of the end.

Well if it is, I'm glad I was here, freeping away- instead of doing house work. :)

(I enjoy seeing the extended family at Christmas, but the day after is almost as sweet. Just DH, the kids, and me.)

I live in Eureka California where we are expecting repeat of the 9.1 quake of 1700. Quake of 1700

If this happens on my watch don't bother to ping me for a first person report as I will be busy changing my shorts...
