I heard a survivor of the '64 quake tell of how her father gathered the family into their car and drive inland just ahead of the tsunami that overtook the small town they lived in. The whole time she said the ground continued to shake under them.
I remember the '94 Northridge quake felt like it would never stop and it was actually only 30 some seconds. 4minutes at a 9 !! Heartstopping no doubt.
