I didn't know that. Cool.
I don't think I would have wanted to live out there then. Just ten years after that tsunami and quake, you had the really big one, the Cascadia subduction quake and tsunami-probably a 9 or better-that sank whole areas of the NW coast, forests and all. They say big things happen in threes...I wonder if there was a third quake somewhere? Perhaps the Humboldt Bay quake/tsunami was a precursor quake to the big one on the Juan De Fuca in 1700?
