My uncle DeWitt Fields and his family have lived and fished in Kodiak since the mid-50’s. They lost their fishing boat that day and lived in the house that today is the museum in Kodiak. It survived the Quake with little or no damage.
Just a few years before that, Lituya Bay saw the largest tsunami on record! Unlike this one, I believe only a couple ships witnessed the power of it. Some of the people aboard those ships survived to tell the tale and it was an epic one!
