I know this is going back a ways, but can anyone remember what the Richter reading was for the 1964 Good Friday quake in either Anchorage or Juneau?

Initial shocks lasting over five minutes affected nearly all of the coastal communities of Alaska.
The magnitude of this quake measured 8.4 - 8.6 on the Richter Scale and was reported as a 9.2 Moment Magnitude (Mw).

Somewhere around 8. I do remember the photos that came out of there at the time with the huge cracks in the ground, hard to forget.
