2.  September 10, 1899  8.0 magnitude  A Tsunami followed (34.7 feet tall)  A U.S Geological Survey team studied the area of the epicenter and found obvious topographic changes

3.  July 22, 1937  7.3 magnitude  Damage was reported in Fairbanks and Anchorage; small cracks in the roads formed and a landslide occurred.

4.  April 1, 1946  8.1 magnitude  The earthquake itself did little physical damage but a tsunami that followed was the cause of 165 deaths and caused about $26 million in property damage Unimak Island, Alaska

5.  March 9, 1957  8.6 magnitude  Damaged houses, bridges and left a large crack in a road  Mt. Vsevidof erupted (after the earthquake struck) after being dormant for about 200 years

6.  July 10, 1958  7.7 magnitude  Bridges, docks and oil lines were damaged, and landslides were the cause of five deaths.  A small “gravity wave” was created by a rock slide and two fishing boats went missing.

7.  March 28, 1964  9.2 magnitude  128 people died; 15 from the earthquake itself and 113 died in the tsunami that followed  $331 million in property damage was caused

9.  November 30, 1987  7.8 magnitude  Some light damage was done to buildings and glass windows were broken  This area had not felt an earthquake this strong since October 1900

10.  November 17, 2003  7.8 magnitude  Caused by movement in the Aleutian Arc  A local tsunami followed the quake but was not very big and caused little damage

11.  December 19, 2007  7.2 magnitude  This quake was felt in 4 other locations including: Amatignak Island, Semisopochnoi Island, Anchorage and Juneau  This earthquake was caused by friction between the North American plate and the Pacific plate

12.  December 26, 2009  6.4 magnitude  This earthquake is still being reviewed by seismologists and no damage had been reported.  This is the most recent “historical” quake to happen in Alaska on the list given by USGS. The yellow on the map shows where the earthquake was felt
