In a distant part of my brain I have vague memories of being at a tourist attraction somewhere in California and reading about this. I remember being astonished, as you are, that I had never heard. And baffled. Why could I not remember? It has finlly registered. I was living in Ohio at the time, without tv. Explains a lot. I read. I thought.

I don't remember the earthquake...I remember the tsunami that followed. My dad had a little 27' cabin cruiser docked at a local marina. When he heard the tsunami was coming he headed out into the Pacific as fast as he could. When he encountered the tsunami in open water it was just a significant swell. Once it went under him he turned and followed it back to land. The marina he had been at was totally destroyed, lots of boats lost/sunk. My dad's was one of the few that were spared. A funny aside to the new marina my dad found...my dad assured my mom that it was "Howard proof" (your uncle). Even Howard would be safe. First time Howard was there...splash! My dad had to fish him out of the drink. Back to the tsunami...I also had a friend who was part owner of a hotel in Eureka, CA. It was totally destroyed by the wave.

I first heard about it when I was first learning about tsunamis, as the tsunami resulting from the quake was a substantial one with lots of English-speaking survivors (thus making it ideal for use in grade-school documentaries).

I think what shocked me then even more than the sheer magnitude of it was how long it lasted. Think about all the 6+ magnitude quakes you experienced and how long they lasted. Now think of something much more powerful lasting for MINUTES! I think I would honestly have a heart attack.
