The Second-Largest Earthquake Ever Recorded

The 1964 Good Friday earthquake measured magnitude 9.2, the largest ever recorded in North America and second largest worldwide. It lasted about four and a half minutes and permanently raised or lowered parts of the coastline by several metres.

The clock: Anchorage keeps Alaska Time at UTC−9. The state consolidated four time zones into two in 1983, largely so that Juneau and Anchorage could share a business day.
