Show notes
This week, we're discussing the strongest recorded earthquake in American history, and the second strongest recorded earthquake in world history. The 1964 "Good Friday" earthquake would shake, destroy, and level cities and towns for nearly five minutes, leaving little in its wake. Following the shaking, tsunamis further devastated areas on the coast and took with it, hundreds of lives.
