On the television and internet, tsunamis are portrayed many ways — from towering, cresting waves, to a quickly receding shoreline. But is that what a tsunami really looks like?
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - whether what happened in Tonga can happen in AlaskaAn expert will explain the science, and a survivor of the 1964 Valdez tsunami created by the Good Friday earthquake will recount what real tsunamis actually look like.Dave Snider with the Tsunami Warning Center said tsunamis probably don’t look like they do on TV.
Every tsunami and coastline is different, he said. Waves can continue for hours, and sometimes days, and not all tsunamis start with the same warning signs. It was March 27, 1964, when Dan Kendall, now 70, witnessed the Valdez tsunami that succeeded the magnitude 9.2 Great Alaska Earthquake. With dinner time approaching, Kendall decided to head home. The boys stayed behind. It was the last time he would see them.
Later that evening, his mother asked him take on a burden. It’s one that would help ease his neighbor’s trauma.
