The Alaskan Good Friday Earthquake occurred March 27, 1964 at approximately 5:36pm. It was 14 miles deep and centered near Valdez, Alaska. Depending on which scale you use (old or new) it was a 7.9 to 9.2 on the Richter scale. I say which scale you use because the scale has been updated since 1964. Hope this helps.
