Creator's Key Takeaways

This park is actually a community where a community used to be. The community just collapsed under the earthquake and then they just left it as a park.

The Good Friday earthquake lasted for over 4 minutes, shaking, cracking, and demolishing much of the most highly developed and populous part of Alaska.

That's how fast the waves were going. Now in Sika they had received 16 ft waves and Kodiak 30ft waves. So this is so powerful to get from Alaska to Honolulu in 6 hours.

Pretty insane. Well, that completes our time here at Earthquake Park.

Creator's Tips & Advice
